By AnnieMro

Ingredients

• Greens:
• 12 dry-packed sea scallops
• Kosher salt to taste
• 1 tbsp. canola oil
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 2 tbsp. Thai sweet chili sauce
• 2 tbsp. fresh lime juice
• 1/2 tsp. Sriracha chili sauce
• 8 cups washed and dried salad greens such as mache, mesclun and/or Boston lettuce
• snipped fresh chives

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450F. Heat a large, ovenproof , non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Pat scallops dry and sprinkle on both sides with salt. Add to skillet and cook until undersides are golden, about 2-3 mins. Turn over and remove skillet from heat. Add oil to skillet and transfer to oven. Cook for 6-7 mins. or until scallops are just cooked and undersides are well seared.

Meanwhile, for greens, whisk together oil, chili sauces and lime juice.

In a large bowl, toss greens with just enough dressing to coat leaves. Divide greens among 4 plates.

Top each salad with 3 scallops. Drizzle remaining dressing evenly over scallops and sprinkle with chives.
