Seared Scallops in Herbed Butter Sauce is one of the dishes that we had for New Year’s Eve Dinner. It was so easy to make and it tasted really good. I enjoyed it with seafood paella and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

Seared Scallops in Herbed Butter Sauce Recipe

The first thing to do when cooking seared scallops in herbed butter sauce is to sear the jumbo scallops. I seared it in a combination of butter and olive oil. I added some virgin olive oil in melted butter to increase the smoking point. This will prevent the butter from burning quickly. Butter has a smoke point of around 350F, while virgin olive oil is around +/- 420F (note that “extra” virgin olive oil has lower smoke point, this is the reason why I used virgin olive oil).

Once the scallops are seared, I made the herbed butter sauce. This is composed of butter, onion, white wine, some fat leaf parsley, and clam juice. It was the perfect sauce to pair with seared scallops.

The scallops will need to be added back in the pan with the sauce and cooked for a minute before serving. Sometimes, I also have this with bruschetta.
