SEARED SEA SCALLOPS WITH GINGER-LIME BUTTER
Day-boat scallops, the kind that are dry-packed (never frozen or dosed with preservatives), are what you want for this decadent but very simple dish. The scallops are seared on cast iron, but gradually, for a crisp, well-browned surface that intensifies their natural sweetness. Ginger, lime and hot pepper enhance the rich meatiness of all fresh seafood, and here especially so. A roasted sweet potato and a pile of blanched bok choy complete this quintessentially elegant, fast-food meal.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Wash sweet potatoes and wrap them tightly in foil. Roast until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. (If you are using larger sweet potatoes, they may require 15 minutes more in the oven.)
- Using a paring knife, remove the small hard "foot" from the edge of each scallop. Pat scallops dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Put on a medium pot of salted water to boil for the greens.
- Meanwhile, make the ginger butter: Combine butter, ginger, chile and lime zest and juice and stir together until well incorporated. Season with salt to taste. Set aside.
- Take a cast-iron skillet large enough to hold the scallops without crowding and place over medium-high heat. Add a film of olive oil. When the oil is nearly smoking, add the scallops in one layer and let them sizzle. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook for at least 5 minutes. Use a small spatula to check the scallops as they brown, allowing them to color gradually. They should be quite crisp and well caramelized. Turn off heat and flip scallops. Leave in pan until firm to the touch.
- While the scallops are cooking, blanch the bok choy: Cook it for 1 minute in the salted boiling water, then drain and blot on a kitchen towel. Keep warm.
- Remove and place scallops, browned side up, onto warmed serving plates. Surround with the bok choy leaves and halved or sliced sweet potatoes.
- Quickly warm the butter in the cast-iron pan and spoon over everything. Sprinkle with cilantro if desired.

SAUTéED SCALLOPS WITH SHREDDED DUCK AND HOLLANDAISE SAUCE
This is a hack of an old recipe from David McMillan and Fred Morin of the restaurant Joe Beef in Montreal, who match sea scallops with pulled pork and hollandaise sauce for a delicious dish. For reasons of habit, taste or happenstance, I started making it with duck instead. It seems like a lot of work - two species, a fancy sauce - but a lot of the cooking is unattended, and the sauce, you'll see, is quite easy to pull off, at least the second time you try. The resulting meal is excessive and fantastic. It begs for a watercress salad with a bright, acidic dressing.

Steps:
- Make the duck. Heat oven to 325. Remove giblets and neck from duck cavity, and discard or reserve for another use. Cut off excess fat from duck cavity. Place duck on a rack in a deep roasting pan, breast-side up, and season with salt and pepper. Then slide the pan into the oven and cook, undisturbed, for 2 hours.
- Remove duck from oven, and use the point of a sharp knife to prick the skin of the bird, all over the breasts and thighs. Return bird to oven, and cook for 1 to 2 more hours, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh measures around 155 degrees.
- Increase oven temperature to 450, and cook until the duck is golden and crisp, 15 to 30 minutes.
- Carefully remove the roasting pan from the oven, and transfer the duck to a cutting board. (Let the fat in the pan cool, then store it, covered, in the refrigerator. It is an excellent medium for roasting potatoes.) Allow the duck to rest for a few minutes, then shred it, using two forks to pull the meat apart. Add your favorite barbecue sauce, to taste, or your favorite hoisin sauce, to taste. Keep warm.
- Make the hollandaise. Put yolks into a small container into which you can fit an immersion blender, or into the jar of a blender.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan set over medium heat, then allow it to cool for a few minutes.
- Process the yolks for a couple of seconds, then continue to run the blender as you add the melted butter in a slow and careful stream, until you have a thin, emulsified sauce. Add the cayenne, lemon juice and salt to taste, blend again to combine and keep at room temperature until ready to use.
- Make the scallops. Place a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat, and add to it 3 tablespoons of the butter. When it has melted and started to foam, place the scallops in the pan in a single layer, and season with a pinch or two of salt.
- Cook scallops without moving until the bottoms are golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes, then turn them over, add the wine and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
- To serve the dish, spoon hollandaise on a plate or platter, then top with the scallops, brown-side up. Top scallops with shredded duck (you'll have some leftover for sandwiches tomorrow), and drizzle with hollandaise.

Steps:
- For the sauce. Melt the butter on stove in saucepan. Set aside and keep it warm.
- Whisk the egg yolks and place in a double boiler or bowl over boiling water whisking vigorously to keep it from becoming scrambled. Once thickened remove from heat and whisk in the lemon juice then drizzle the butter in slowly whisking constantly. Whisk in the orange juice and zest. Set aside and keep warm.
- Pat the scallops dry and season with salt. Place a skillet over high heat and add the olive oil and butter. Turn the heat to medium and add the scallops sear 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- To plate add some hollandaise to the plate and top with scallops.

Steps:
- Put graham crackers in a resealable plastic bag and with a rolling pin lightly crush until crumbs are coarse. In a bowl stir together crumbs and salt. Discard small tough muscle from side of each scallop and halve any large scallops. Pat scallops dry.
- In a 4-quart heavy saucepan or heavy kettle heat 1 1/2 inches oil to 365°F. on a deep-fat thermometer. Working in batches of 6, dip scallops in egg to coat, letting excess drip off, and roll in crumb mixture. Fry scallops, stirring gently, 2 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer scallops as cooked with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve scallops on a platter with sauce.
