BOBBY FLAY SCALLOPS RECIPES

Steps:

• Make the salsa verde: Combine the mustard greens, parsley, mint, tarragon, capers, anchovies, garlic and lemon zest in a large bowl. Stir in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.
• Make the scallops: Combine the paprika, brown sugar, cumin, ground fennel, coriander, mustard powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Season the scallops on both sides with salt and pepper, then sprinkle all over with the spice mixture. Rub the spices into the scallops.
• Heat the canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Add the scallops to the pan in a single layer and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown and the scallops are just cooked through, about 2 more minutes. 
• Serve 2 or 3 scallops per plate; top each scallop with a dollop of salsa verde, sprinkle with the Cotija cheese and top with a Fresno chile slice. Serve with chile paste and garnish with microgreens.
