Ingredients:
- 12 large sea scallops, patted dry
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Season the scallops with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the scallops in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked scallops to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Add the baby spinach leaves and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted. Transfer the spinach to a serving platter.
- In a small saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice, honey, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, and ground coriander. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
- Let the glaze simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and well combined.
- To serve, arrange the seared scallops on top of the cooked baby spinach. Drizzle the spiced pomegranate glaze over the scallops and spinach.
- Garnish with additional black pepper or fresh herbs if desired.
