Soy Butter Seared Scallops with Wasabi-Infused Mango Salsa

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1 Prepare the salsa by combining the diced mango, red onion, lime juice, wasabi paste, cilantro, and salt in a bowl. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
2. 2 Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel to ensure a good sear. Season lightly with salt on both sides.
3. 3 In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. 4 Add the scallops to the skillet, ensuring they are not crowded. Sear for 2 minutes on one side until a golden crust forms.
5. 5 Flip the scallops, reduce the heat to medium, and add the butter and soy sauce to the skillet.
6. 6 Baste the scallops with the soy butter sauce using a spoon for an additional 1-2 minutes, until cooked through and opaque.
7. 7 Remove the scallops from the skillet and drizzle any remaining soy butter sauce over them.
8. 8 Serve the scallops immediately with a generous spoonful of wasabi-infused mango salsa on top.
