Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat bottom of 9-inch baking dish with oil; set aside.
• 2. Place Pineapple-Rum Sauce ingredients in a food processor, and puree until smooth. Set aside.
• 3. Place flour in a shallow dish. Crack eggs into a separate shallow dish, and beat with a fork until smooth. Place grated coconut in a separate shallow dish.
• 4. Dredge scallops in the flour, turning 2 or 3 times until well coated. Then roll scallops in the beaten egg until coated on all sides. The roll scallops in coconut until well coated.
• 5. Placed coconut-covered scallops in baking sheet so they don't overlap. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the coconut begins to turn a light golden brown (but don't let the coconut burn).
• 6. While the scallops are baking, warm the Pineapple-Rum Sauce (for about 3 to 4 minutes in a saucepan over medium heat on the stove, or about 30 to 45 seconds in a microwave oven).
• 7. For each serving, arrange 3 coconut-encrusted scallops on each plate, and spoon about 1/4 cup of the warm Pineapple-Rum Sauce over the scallops. Serve immediately while still warm.

Steps:

• Combine scallops, coconut milk, red bell pepper and ginger in heavy medium saucepan. Bring just to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until scallops are just opaque in center, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Mix in lime juice, fish sauce and green onions. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and serve.

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat; swirl in just enough coconut oil to coat bottom. Pat scallops dry, season with coarse salt, and add to skillet. Cook, undisturbed, until browned on bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip, season with coarse salt, and cook until browned and cooked through but still pink in center, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with wilted spinach and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg.
