• Gather all ingredients before starting recipe.
• Wash and dry sea scallops on a paper towel, season with kosher salt and set aside until ready to sear.

Prepare Garnish

• Slice tomatoes and olives.
• Prepare plates, add a small dollop of puttanesca sauce in three spots equally distanced on long dinner plate.
• Sprinkle tomatoes and olives in and around the puttanesca sauce.
• Sprinkle with micro greens.

Searing Scallops

• Heat a large non stick skillet over high heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the skillet is very hot.
• Add butter and when it starts foaming, place scallops, salted side down, in a clock wise direction so that you will know which scallops were first down and can be turned. Sear scallops for 2-3 minutes or until they become nicely browned.
• Season scallops before turning, then sear for a further 2-3 minutes or until the 2nd side is browned.

Plating

• Place on scallop on top of each dollop of puttanesca sauce and add a few more micro greens.
