Ingredients

  • 12 large sea scallops (about 1 pound) Instant flour, such as Wondra, or all-purpose flour, for dusting 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Fine sea or kosher salt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 tablespoon small capers, drained 2 tablespoons fresh tangerine or orange juice, plus wedges for serving 1 tablespoon finely shredded mint leaves, plus more small whole leaves for serving 2 teaspoons lemon juice, plus more as needed Warm wilted spinach, for serving

Directions

Pat scallops dry; dust flat sides with flour. Heat a skillet over medium-high; swirl in oil. Season scallops with salt, then add to skillet and cook, undisturbed, until browned on bottoms, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned and cooked through but still slightly pink in center, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter; cover to keep warm. Rinse skillet and wipe dry.

Return skillet to medium heat. Melt 3 tablespoons butter, then continue to cook, swirling skillet, until milk solids on bottom turn light golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add capers; cook 30 seconds. Add tangerine juice; let bubble up and subside, then remove from heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and swirl skillet to melt and thicken sauce. Season with salt; stir in mint and lemon juice, adding more lemon to taste.

Serve scallops over spinach, drizzled with sauce and sprinkled with more mint leaves, with tangerine or orange wedges alongside.

Cook’s Notes To ensure a good sear and avoid toughness, make sure scallops are patted dry and heat pan thoroughly before adding them.
