Ingredients

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 tablespoons Pernod
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 sea scallops
8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Lemon-Fennel Dressing, recipe follows
2 lemons, halved and grilled

Lemon-Fennel Dressing:

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh fennel tops

Directions

Heat grill to high.

Whisk together the garlic, Pernod, olive oil, and salt and pepper, to taste, in a large baking dish. Add the scallops, turn to coat, cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Skewer 3 scallops onto 2 skewers so that the scallops lay flat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper on both sides and grill for about 2 minutes per side or until just cooked through. Transfer to a serving platter and immediately drizzle with the Lemon-Fennel Dressing. Serve with grilled lemons on the side.

Lemon-Fennel Dressing:

Whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and salt and pepper, to taste, in a medium bowl until combined. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified and then stir in the chopped fresh fennel tops.
