Preparation

Step 1

1. To make the scallops: Place the scallops on a work surface. Pat dry. Dust with the jerk seasoning and toss to coat evenly. Set aside. 2. To make the salsa: Combine the beans, tomato, bell pepper, onion, jalapeno pepper, mango, cumin, cilantro, lime juice, canola oil, and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl, mixing well to combine. Let stand to blend flavors. 3. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat for 1 minute. Add the scallops to the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until well browned all over and opaque in the center. Remove to a plate. 4. Spoon the salsa onto 4 dinner plates. Top with the scallops. Place a lime wedge on each plate.
