Ingredients:

• 1 to 1 1/2 pounds sea scallops, patted dry with paper towels
• Salt and pepper
• 2 teaspoons butter
• 3 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• Zest of one orange

Directions:

In a skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the orange juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and orange zest. Simmer gently until the sauce thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.

Heat butter and 2 teaspoons oil in large skillet over high heat. Sprinkle scallops with pepper and salt. Once the fat begins to smoke, gently add the scallops, making sure they are not touching each other. Sear the scallops for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. The scallops should have a 1/4-inch golden crust on each side while still being translucent in the center. Pour sauce over scallops and serve immediately.

Serves 4.
