BALSAMIC-GLAZED SEA SCALLOPS
Pan-seared scallops may seem intimidating to some, but it's really a simple dish to prepare. Sea scallops are amazingly tender, succulent, and mildly flavored, but when you style them up with a flavorful balsamic glaze, they can be a showstopper. They're sophisticated enough for dinner guests, but easy enough for a weeknight dinner.

Steps:
- Pat scallops thoroughly with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and ensure a good sear. Combine seafood seasoning, salt, and pepper and use to lightly season both sides of the scallops.
- Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops to the skillet, being careful not to crowd. Cook until golden brown and a crust starts to form, about 3 minutes per side. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid steaming the scallops and be careful not to overcook. Remove from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
- Add white wine, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom. Cook until glaze is slightly thick and syrupy, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Move scallops to a serving plate, drizzle glaze on top, and garnish with chopped tarragon.

Steps:
- Reduce balsamic vinegar over low heat until it is the consistency of syrup, about 1/4 cup.
- Keep warm.
- Cook cauliflower florets for about one minute in boiling salted water, then put on ice to stop the cooking and retain color.
- Reserve one cup of the florets.
- Put the other cup into a saucepan, cover it with 1/4 cup of cream and cook for about 8 minutes.
- Puree in a blender or push through a fine sieve and keep warm.
- Put 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small sauté pan, and when heated add the scallops that have been seasoned with salt and pepper.
- Cook over moderately high heat, high enough to get a nice caramelized sear, on each side for 1-3 minutes, until cooked through.
- In another small sauté pan, brown 1 1/2 tablespoons butter slightly, then add the cup of florets that were not pureed.
- Cook for one minute or two browning the cauliflower slightly.
- Add the toasted, slivered almonds, then the capers, golden raisins and chopped parsley.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- In the center of a plate, put half the cauliflower puree.
- Arrange the cauliflower-caper-raisin mixture on top of the puree as a bed for the scallops.
- Top with half the scallops, then drizzle the plate with the reduced balsamic vinegar.
- Repeat with second plate.

PAN-SEARED LEMON AND GARLIC SCALLOPS
Scallops have a reputation for being hard to cook correctly, but this recipe is really fast, easy, and oh so tasty. The key is high heat for the sear, a good nonstick pan, and clarified butter. Pairs well with risotto.

Steps:
- Place scallops in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Combine 5 tablespoons warm butter, lemon juice, and garlic in a bowl; whisk until combined. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- At the same time, remove scallops from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat, making sure it does not smoke. Brush scallops with garlic mixture and add to the pan. Cook until the bottoms begin to sear and turn golden, about 2 minutes. Flip scallops, brush with garlic mixture, and cook another 2 minutes. Remove scallops from the heat and let them continue to cook while they rest, off the heat, for 5 more minutes. Plate and serve.
