SMOKED DUCK AND SCALLOP SALAD WITH SHERRY VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- Prepare the vinaigrette dressing by whisking all of the ingredients together and reserve under refrigeration until needed.
- Prepare the fried leeks by mixing the buttermilk and egg in a small bowl. Fill a large pot 1/2 full with vegetable oil and heat to 375 degrees F. Dip leeks in mixture and then dredge in flour, shaking off excess. Deep-fry the leeks until they are crisp and golden brown. Degrease the fried leeks on absorbent paper towels and reserve in a warm place until needed.
- Prepare a stovetop smoker.
- Prepare the marinade by combining ingredients in a large bowl. Separate into 2 small bowls. Add duck breast to 1 bowl, turning to coat evenly. Marinate for 5 minutes.
- Place the duck in a smoker for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Rub scallops with marinade from second bowl. Preheat grill. Grill the duck breast for 10 minutes, turning to cook evenly. Add scallops during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
- Place the cleaned, stemmed watercress in a bowl and toss it with 3/4 of the dressing. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- Mound the watercress in the center of a chilled salad plate. Slice the duck breast and lay it on top of the mound. At the base of the mound, place 3 grilled scallops in a triangular formation. Garnish the salad by sprinkling it with roasted pecans and arranging cheese wedges. Top with fried leeks.

Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- Bring the wine, a pinch of salt, and the bay leaf, celery, and fennel to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce to a simmer; cook until the vegetables are just tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a medium bowl; discard the bay leaf. Set aside. Add the scallops to the pan; simmer until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer the scallops to the bowl of vegetables; refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup poaching liquid. Refrigerate until cold, about 20 minutes.
- Stir the lemon juice into the poaching liquid. Add the oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified. Slice the scallops in half horizontally; toss with the dressing and vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Toss the herbs, celery leaves, and fennel fronds in a small bowl, then divide among 4 serving plates. Top each with scallops and vegetables, dividing evenly. Drizzle with oil and dressing from the bowl. Garnish each salad with a lemon wedge.

Steps:
- Place the scallops on a large plate lined with a paper towel and pat dry. Combine the lime juice, shallot, chili sauce, fish sauce and 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large bowl; whisk to combine. Add the cabbage, cucumbers, radishes, apple and basil to the dressing and toss well to coat.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the scallops in an even layer (do not crowd the pan). Cook, undisturbed, until a golden crust forms on the bottom of the scallops, about 3 minutes. Flip the scallops (they should release easily from the pan; if they stick, cook 1 more minute). Cook until lightly browned on the other side, about 2 minutes.
- Divide the cabbage salad among plates and add the scallops. Top with the peanuts and serve with lime wedges.

Steps:
- Preheat grill to medium. Brush scallops lightly with olive oil. Unravel pancetta into 6 thin strips. Cut strips to fit around the scallops' narrow rims. Wrap a strip of pancetta around each scallop, and thread scallops on 2 parallel skewers through the pancetta so they are easier to turn.
- In a large bowl, toss together arugula, butter lettuce, mint, fennel and orange zest. Sprinkle with balsamic vinegar, olive oil and salt, and toss to mix. Taste, and adjust seasoning. Divide among 4 plates.
- Season scallops lightly on the top and bottom with salt. Grill until scallops and pancetta are crisp on edges and scallops are cooked through. Remove from grill and place on top of salads. Serve.

SCALLOPS AND CHEDDAR GRITS WITH CHORIZO
The first time I had the Southern classic shrimp and grits was on set during the filming of Top Chef in Miami, brilliantly prepared by Dallas-based chef Tre Wilcox in a taco truck. I've been hooked ever since. Here, the same idea, but with sea scallops--also a sweet shellfish, and one that needs no peeling or deveining. Scallops are particularly friendly with salty, spicy pork, whether it's fancy Italian ham, good old bacon, or, in this case, the spicy Spanish sausage that rounds out this dish.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring 3 1/2 cups water to a boil, and add 1/4 teaspoon salt. Slowly stir the grits into the water, pouring the grits in a fine stream. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the Cheddar, cover, and keep warm in the oven.
- Ten minutes into cooking the grits, pat dry the scallops, season them with salt and pepper on both sides, and heat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan, then the chorizo, and cook until the sausage renders some fat, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the scallops, shake the pan to move them around a little, and sear for 2 minutes. Turn and continue cooking until browned, 2 minutes. Remove the scallops and chorizo to a plate lined with a paper towel.
- Reduce the heat under the pan to medium, and add the scallions, garlic, and lemon juice. Cook for 2 minutes, and remove from the heat.
- On each of 4 plates, make a bed of grits, then place the scallops on top, and drizzle pan sauce and chorizo on and around the scallops and grits. Serve quickly.

WHITE WINE-POACHED SCALLOP AND HERB SALAD
Sweet sea scallops, tossed with a delicate salad of chopped herbs, celery, and fennel, are brightened by the acidity of white wine. Choose a light, aromatic Muscadet, a dry Pinot Grigio or Alsatian Riesling, or a sparkling Prosecco. Serve as an appetizer or light lunch, with a glass of the same wine alongside.

SCALLOP SALAD
This ultrasimple scallop salad, brought to The Times in 2012, comes from Jair Téllez's restaurant in Mexico City, MeroToro. Easy enough for a weeknight, it requires only a few ingredients. Tender, earthy boiled potatoes complement the quick-seared scallops, while spring onions lend a bit of sharpness.

BUTTERY SCALLOPS WITH LEMON AND HERBS
Simple and very speedy, this dish shows off the sweetness and delicacy of fresh sea scallops, seasoned with only lemon, garlic, herbs and a sprinkle of red-pepper flakes. A little butter gives it a touch of richness, while the grated lemon zest adds brightness and a jolt of acid. You can serve this with a big green salad for a light meal, or over buttered noodles or mashed potatoes for something more substantial.

Steps:
- Season scallops lightly on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large, preferably nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add 3 tablespoons butter and let melt. Place seasoned scallops in the pan in a single layer without touching. (Do this in batches if necessary, using another tablespoon of butter if needed for the second batch.) Cook without moving until bottoms are golden brown, 3 minutes.
- Flip the scallops and add another tablespoon of butter to the pan. Stir in garlic and thyme, and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute longer.
- If you took any of the scallops out of the pan to cook them in batches, put them back in now. Pour lemon juice on top of all the scallops, sprinkle with the lemon zest, and toss everything gently to combine.
- Transfer scallops to serving plates and sprinkle red-pepper flakes on top. Garnish with chopped soft herbs and lemon wedges, and serve immediately.
