How to Make Scallops With Fruit Salsa

  1. Prepare the Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup diced mango, 1/2 cup diced red onion, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon sugar, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Gently mix and taste, adjusting sweetness or spice to your preference.
  2. Season the Scallops: Sprinkle 1 pound sea scallops generously with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon sugar.
  3. Sear the Scallops: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter begins to foam and lightly brown, add the scallops.
  4. Cook the Scallops: Sear the scallops for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  5. Serve: Transfer the seared scallops to a serving platter and top generously with the fruit salsa. Serve immediately and enjoy!
