Ingredients

Directions

Pat sea scallops dry with paper towels. Season with some lemon juice, salt, and pepper on one side.

Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over high heat. Place scallops in the skillet seasoned-side down. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Season with remaining lemon juice, salt, and pepper; flip. Continue cooking until opaque, about 2 minutes more. Garnish with lemon zest.

Recipe Tip

For the best sear on your scallops, make sure they are very dry before cooking. And once you place them into the pan, don't move them until it is time to flip them over.
