Ingredients
Gremolata
How to Make It
- Preheat the oven’s broiler. In a small bowl, combine the almonds, olive oil, garlic, parsley, lemon zest and salt and pepper. Mix well. Spread on a small cookie sheet and place under the broiler until browned, for about 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- In a saucepan large enough to accommodate all the scallops side by side, melt the butter on very low heat. Once melted, add the scallops in one layer, then sprinkle with the salt. Cook just until they turn opaque, about a minute, then turn and cook for another minute, until they are cooked through. Remove the scallops from the butter with a slotted spoon. Don’t overcook the scallops or they will become dry and rubbery.
- Serve the scallops over a salad or over Easy Cauliflower Rice, sprinkled with 3 to 4 tablespoons (8 to 10 g) of gremolata.
