Key Ingredients and Their Impact

Soy Sauce
Umami Flavor: Introduces a savory depth that balances the sweetness of the honey. Saltiness: Acts as a natural seasoning, enhancing the overall flavor profile of the dish.
Honey
Sweetness: Provides a natural sweetness that complements the savory notes. Caramelization: Adds complexity through caramelization, enhancing the sauce’s richness.
Serving Suggestions
Pair these scallops with steamed vegetables like broccoli and carrots, or over a bed of fluffy rice to soak up the delicious sauce. They make an exquisite entree or a shareable appetizer.
FAQs and Tips
Can I substitute the soy sauce? Yes, coconut aminos are a great alternative for a slightly different yet equally delicious flavor.

Ingredients
-
4 portions Sizzlefish scallops, thawed
3 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tsp cornstarch
2 tbsp avocado oil or high heat oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp honey
3 tbsp soy sauce or coconut aminos
2 tbsp sliced green onion for serving
Directions
Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat, about 1 minute.
Add honey and soy sauce. Stir well and heat for 1 minute longer. Turn heat off and cover to keep warm.
Pat scallops dry with paper towel to remove excess moisture. Add sesame seeds to a plate and sprinkle with cornstarch. Stir to combine. Coat scallops in sesame seeds on both sides.
Heat avocado oil over medium heat in a large skillet until very hot, about 2 minutes. Sear scallops for 2 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
Transfer cooked scallops to a serving plate and top with warm sauce. Garnish with sliced green onions.
