Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • 16 large sea scallops

  • ½ medium red grapefruit

  • ½ bulb fennel

  • 3 cups baby spinach leaves

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon diced shallot

  • 1 teaspoon brown mustard

  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Pat scallops dry and add to the hot pan; sear until caramelized, 6 to 7 minutes, flipping halfway.

  2. While scallops are cooking, peel, skin, and slice grapefruit. Slice fennel thinly, reserving a few fronds. Place grapefruit, fennel, fronds, and spinach in a large bowl.

  3. Prepare dressing by mixing remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, shallot, mustard, honey, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.

  4. Add seared scallops to the salad and mix to combine. Drizzle dressing over top.
