Japanese Miso Butter Scallops Recipes

Steps:

• Put miso in a bowl. Add mirin or wine. Whisk until smooth, adding more mirin if needed. Stir in onion, a pinch of salt and of cayenne. Combine scallops, let sit 10 minutes. Cook right away, or cover and refrigerate for up to a day. When ready to cook, heat a broiler (or grill), setting the rack as close as possible to the heat source.
• Broil until lightly browned, without turning, 3 to 5 minutes, or grill, turning once after 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with lime juice, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat a charcoal or gas grill until very hot. Brush the grill with a little oil and position the grill grate 3 to 4 inches from the heat.
• Whisk together the miso and mirin or sake; season to taste with pepper.
• Thread the scallops through their equators onto metal or soaked wooden skewers and brush them all over with vegetable oil. Grill scallops until they're browned and release easily from the grill, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• When they're almost done, brush on both sides with the miso mixture, and continue to cook, turning once or twice, until the glaze caramelizes a bit and the scallops are done. Take the scallops off the grill before the interior becomes totally opaque.
• Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine miso paste, sake, soy sauce, and sugar in a small bowl.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add scallops and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn scallops and cook until no longer translucent and cooked through, about 1 more minute.
• Reduce heat to low and let the skillet cool down for 1 minute. Add miso sauce and cook for about 3 minutes, thinning with water if necessary. Add butter and stir until melted.

Steps:

• 1. Season the scallops with the salt, pepper, and garlic and then lightly dust with flour.
• 2. Heat the oil in a small frying pan. Briefly fry both sides of the scallops until seared on the outside, but still rare in the middle.
• 3. Take the pan off the heat and remove the scallops. Add the white wine and then the miso, mirin, soy sauce, sugar, and water to pan and stir. Return to the heat and being to a boil, stirring, then remove. Mix in the mustard and heavy cream.
• 4. Tear the leaves off the watercress and arrange on a large plate. Chop the stems finely and set aside as a garnish. Place the scallops on the bed of watercress leaves, pour the hot sauce over, and garnish with the finely chopped watercress stems. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.
