Ingredients

1 medium Vidalia onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons butter
2 pounds fresh sea scallops
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons bread crumbs
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh chives
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
12 mini burger buns or small soft dinner rolls
Cilantro Mayo, recipe follows

Directions

In a small skillet saute onion in butter over medium heat until translucent. Cool.

Place scallops in food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped or chop by hand. Transfer to large bowl and add remaining ingredients, except vegetable oil. Add in the cooled onions.

Cook's Note: Mixture should not be too loose. If necessary, add a bit more flour or another egg.

Shape the mixture into small burgers, approximately 2 inches in diameter. Place on a waxed paper lined sheet tray, cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.

Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add scallop sliders and cook until browned and cooked through. Place on small soft dinner rolls and top with a bit of Cilantro Mayo. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Cilantro-Lime Mayo:

4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 garlic clove, peeled
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 cup mayonnaise
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Blend all ingredients in food processor except mayonnaise and salt and pepper. Process until cilantro is fine. Add mayonnaise and process just until blended. Season with salt and pepper, to taste

Cook's Note: This sauce is good with any seafood or fish, especially salmon.

Yield: 1 1/2 cups

Yum!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These were absolutely delicious. I used about half the amount of cilantro called for in the patties themselves, since... cilantro can overpower a subtle flavor like scallops and it was perfect. I used the full amount of cilantro in the mayo however, and it was delicious as well. I substituted bay scallops for sea scallops since they were half the price, and the burgers didn't suffer in the least. I made them full burger size instead of minis and had no trouble getting them cooked all the way through. This was a fantastic recipe and I will definitely be making them again.Read more

A waste of some good scallops
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I love Paula Dean and her recipes are always amazing But this one was a real disappointment. I followed the instructions... exactly, but my family all agreed that it did not live up to expectations.Read more
