Ingredients

For the Scallops: 3 U-10 sea scallops, cleaned

Kosher salt and black pepper, as needed

neutral oil, as needed

For the Orange Beurre Blanc: 1 fl. oz. white wine

2 oz. orange juice

1 shallot, minced

6 oz. butter, cubed, kept cold

1/2 fl. oz. cream

lemon juice, as needed

Directions

For the Scallops; rinse under cold water, and pat dry, and season with kosher salt and black pepper

Heat enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of a saute over high heat

Once the oil is hot add the scallops

Cook the scallops on the first side until golden brown without disturbing. The should release from the pan easily when they are properly seared

Turn them over and cook them on the other side until golden brown, the scallops should not be cooked over medium rare.

For the Orange Burre Blanc; heat a saute pan and add the wine orange juice minced shallot and cream and bring to a simmer, reduce au sec

On the lowest heat. swirl a few cubes of butter into the sauce until it is fully incorporated. The butter needs to be kept in constant motion so that the emulsion does not destabilize.

Continue to add cubes of butter, a few at a time, whisking the mixture frequently.

Add Kosher salt as needed and a squeeze of lemon juice, strain, and hold until you are ready to plate.

To plate the dish, start with the Orange Burre Blance, and place the scallops on top. Garnish with Chive
