A delightful option for a light and wholesome meal, these ghee seared scallops are served with a frisée, red onion, and kumquat salad drizzled with a aromatic fruity mango dressing. Scallops are the filet mignon of the sea and you don't want to overcook them. Sear them in a cast iron skillet for 2 minutes, flip and cook one more minute. Make sure to thoroughly dry your scallops before seasoning and searing. They should be springy, not mushy (undercooked) or firm (overcooked) if properly cooked.
