Recipe Notes

  • Fish Alternatives: Instead of large sea scallops, bay scallops can be used. Sauté them for jus t1½ minutes. They cook so quickly there’s no time for a brown crust to form, but the taste will still be delicious.
  • Wine Recommendation: A light, acidic white wine is a good partner for the citrus here Outstanding choices would be a better quality Soave or a sauvignon blanc from the northern Alto Adige region of Italy.
