Whip up a refreshing spinach salad with seared scallops, grapefruit, and fennel for a speedy and delicious meal option under 30 minutes.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 16 large sea scallops
  • 0.5 medium red grapefruit
  • 0.5 bulb fennel
  • 3 cups baby spinach leaves
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon diced shallot
  • 1 teaspoon brown mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
  • In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, melt butter with 1 tablespoon of oil. Pat dry scallops and add them to the pan. Sear until caramelized, about 6 to 7 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
  • Prepare grapefruit by peeling, skinning, and slicing while the scallops are cooking. Thinly slice the fennel, setting aside a few fronds. Combine the grapefruit, fennel, fronds, and spinach in a large bowl.
  • Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, shallot, mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to create the dressing.
  • Incorporate the seared scallops into the salad, drizzle with dressing, and toss gently to blend.
