16 medium diver scallops, cleaned

1/8 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for searing

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 tablespoon finely chopped thyme

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 cups field greens

In a medium bowl, marinate the scallops with olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let them marinate for 20 minutes.

Heat enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the scallops. Cook quickly in each side until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and place 4 scallops around a mound of greens. Repeat.

Best Scallops Ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this dish for my husband who loves scallops. He couldn't stop raving about them. He kept saying they were the best... he has ever had. I did use spinach in lieu of field greens and served with sauted portabella mushrooms.Read more

We had a wonderful meal tonight centered around these amazing scallops. Even my 5 year olds ate them! I am sure having good... fresh scallops makes all the difference in the world!Read more

This couldn't have been any easier to make and everyone loved it, including my kids! I was a little worried that the greens... would be a little bland without any kind of dressing but it was a perfect compliment to the flavorful scallops.Read more

Good
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I made these scallops, and at first wasn't sure if the light seasoning would be enough, but it was great. I also wrapped them... in bacon (so don't use the olive oil b/c the bacon releases enough fat both to flavor the scallops as well as sear them.) Result was awesome. And I've made them several times since then.Read more

Easy and delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The flavor was excellant and it really is quite easy. The marinade is really more of a paste and we added more olive oil. ... Mistake! Then we had a saute instead of a sear going on. The flavor was still outstanding but I recommend sticking to the recipe amounts.Read more

Simple, clean taste
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The taste of the sea scallops shines through in this simple recipe. I don't think the marinade would coat more than 6 jumbo... sea scallops though. I also would sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes on each side if using large ones. Keep in mind that the internal temp. on the scallop should be 160 degrees. Anything more and they will be tough, anything less they will be transparent and raw tasting in the middle, yuck!Read more
