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
Instructions:
  1. Season the scallops with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. To serve, arrange the seared scallops on top of the cooked baby spinach. Drizzle the spiced pomegranate glaze over the scallops and spinach.
  8. Garnish with additional black pepper or fresh herbs if desired.
The earthy flavour of baby spinach and the delicate flavour of seared scallops are combined in this meal, and they are all enhanced by the sweet and acidic spiced pomegranate sauce. It's ideal for any occasion where you want to wow your guests with a fine meal, like a special supper!
