Pan Seared Scallops

Pan seared scallops taste like a special occasion dinner, but they’re easy enough for a weeknight. Serve them over a citrus-infused salad for a light and healthy meal!
Caramelized pan seared scallops combined with sweet oranges and peppery arugula in a garlic citrus vinaigrette—it sounds like something straight off of a restaurant menu, but it’s my new favorite salad recipe! While pan seared scallops might seem high-end, they’re simple to make for a weeknight dinner or even a quick lunch. This dish is also elegant enough to impress guests and easy to scale up if you’re serving a crowd.
