Meyer lemons are rounder than traditional lemons and are often tinged with orange. Their flavor is sweeter and less acidic, but in this recipe, any lemon will work well. Ingredients:
12 ounces sea or bay scallops |
2 tablespoons meyer lemon juice |
sea salt to taste |
1/2 cup mandarin and/or blood orange segments |
aleppo pepper, cayenne pepper, or dried crushed red pepper |
10 mint leaves, torn in pieces |
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
baby arugula leaves |
Directions:
1. Slice each scallop crosswise into 3 slices. (Leave whole if using bay scallops.) Place in a shallow glass bowl or plate. Add Meyer lemon juice and sea salt. Marinate 5 minutes.
2. Arrange scallops on 4 plates, reserving marinade. Scatter oranges around scallops. Sprinkle with Aleppo pepper and torn mint. Whisk olive oil into reserved marinade; spoon over scallops. Add arugula leaves.
