Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1 In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, miso paste, soy sauce, and lemon juice to create the miso-butter glaze.
2. 2 Pat the scallops dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Brush them lightly with olive oil.
3. 3 Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. 4 Place the scallops on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are opaque and have a nice sear.
5. 5 During the last minute of cooking, brush the scallops with the miso-butter glaze.
6. 6 Remove the scallops from the grill and set aside.
7. 7 In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds.
8. 8 Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
9. 9 Stir in the soy sauce and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
10. 10 Serve the scallops on a plate with a side of sesame spinach. Drizzle any remaining miso-butter over the scallops.
