Ingredients
1 lb (454g) sea scallops, thawed if frozen
Kosher salt
2 tbsp grapeseed oil or canola oil
1 tbsp salted butter
Lemon wedges, to serve
Preparation
Grill/Griddle
Thaw scallops, if frozen.
Brine scallops: In a shallow dish, mix together 4 cups room temperature water and 2 tbsp kosher salt. Place scallops in the water and set aside for 10 minutes.
Remove scallops and dry with paper towel thoroughly. Lightly season with a couple pinches of kosher salt.
Place Grill/Griddle on Cooker and touch the SEAFOOD button. Touch the - / + to adjust desired temperature.
Heat oil until hot. Work in batches as needed. Once the oil is hot, add the scallops and cook without turning for 2-3 minutes, or until an even brown crust clearly forms on bottom.
Flip scallops with silicone tongs. Cook additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until a crust just forms on bottom, and the centre of the scallop is almost opaque.
Turn off Cooker and add butter. Once melted, spoon butter over scallops.
Serve with a squeeze of lemon.
