Processed with VSCOcam with f2 preset

I went all chef status for lunch. Let me put on my best chef voice. Ahem. Perfectly pan-seared lemon garlic scallops on a bed of delicately mixed lettuce and crisp spinach greens, steamed edamame, sliced clementine, crushed walnuts, raisins, and avocado. Shwoooop. Perfect.

Lemon Garlic Scallops

Serves: 1

• 1.5-2 tsp olive oil

• 4 oz scallops

• juice of 1/2 lemon

• 1/8 tsp sea salt

• 1/8 tsp black pepper

• 1/4 tsp garlic powder

• 1/4 tsp basil

• 1/8 tsp onion powder

1. Add just enough olive oil to a pan to coat the bottom (about 1.5-2 tsp worth). Heat the pan to a medium heat for 2-3 mins.

2. Then turn it to low and add your thawed out scallops. Let it cook! Once lightly browned on one side (it takes 3-5 mins, it'll also turn from pink translucent color to white and solid), flip and cook the other side.

3. While the second side cooks, add the juice of 1/2 lemon, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and basil. By the time you've added everything, the scallops should be lightly browned on that side too. Don't overcook! Doneeee.
