Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon wasabi powder or 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
- 1 teaspoon water
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 8 ounces large sea scallops
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 slices pickled ginger chopped
- Chives for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the wasabi powder and water and mix together to create a paste. Let sit 10 minutes for the flavours to develop. If using wasabi paste, you can skip this step.
- Stir in the mayonnaise until well combined.
- Pat the scallops very dry and season well with salt and pepper.
- Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium high heat. When it begins to brown, add the scallops in one layer and sear about 1 1/2 minutes per side.
- Set the scallops on a platter and dollop each with a bit of the wasabi mayo. Top with a small piece of pickled ginger and a piece of chive. Serve warm.
