Updated on Feb 12, 2013

Sweet honey, salt tamari, tangy rice wine vinegar and hot red pepper flakes,if desired, combine to make a delectable glaze for scallops. Try a robust honey in this recipe, such as buckwheat, eucalyptus or avocado to balance the strongly flavored tamari. Serve with wilted kale and brown rice. When I saw this recipe I thought of those wonderful scallops that Carol in Boston had not so long ago from a friend and her wonderful recipe.MMmmm This recipe idea is from Whole Foods Market.

How To Make honey-glazed scallops

  • Step 1
    In a small bowl, whisk together the first 5 ingredients; set aside.
  • Step 2
    Pat scallops dry with paper towels then heat 1 Tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook scallops in a single layer, flipping once, until golden brown and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. (work in batches, if necessary, adding the remaining 1 Tablespoon oil when needed).
  • Step 3
    Transfer scallops to a large plate as done. Reduce heat to medium-low and allow skillet to cool off a bit, then carefully add tamari honey mixture to skillet and simmer briefly until reduced to a glaze. Return scallops to skillet and toss well to cost evenly. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
