From the Test Kitchen

WHY WE LOVE THIS DISH
It’s brimming with quintessential late-summer flavors thanks to a vibrant salsa of lime-dressed tomatoes, peach, pickled peppers, and corn—charred briefly in the pan to enhance its delectably sweet flavor.

TECHNIQUE TO HIGHLIGHT
To give these delicate, tender sea scallops a crisp, golden brown exterior, be sure to thoroughly pat them dry before searing, as excess moisture will prevent that delicious browning.

step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Cook the rice

Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, add the rice. Cook, uncovered, 30 to 32 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot.

2 Prepare the ingredients & start the salsa

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Remove any husks and silks from the corn; cut the kernels off the cobs. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. Halve, pit, and small dice the peach. Roughly chop the peppers. Quarter the lime. Halve the tomatoes. In a large bowl, combine the halved tomatoes, diced peach, chopped peppers, the juice of 2 lime wedges, and a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat. Roughly chop the parsley leaves and stems.

3 Cook the corn & finish the salsa

In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the corn kernels in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned (be careful, as the corn may pop as it cooks). Add the sliced white bottoms of the scallions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to the bowl of dressed tomatoes and peach; stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Wipe out the pan.

4 Cook the scallops

Pat the scallops dry with paper towels. Using your hands, remove and discard the tough side muscle from each scallop. Season on both sides with salt, pepper, and enough of the spice blend to coat (you may have extra). In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned scallops in an even layer. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned. Flip and cook 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Turn off the heat.

5 Finish the rice & serve your dish

To the pot of cooked rice, add the butter; stir until melted and combined. Serve the finished rice topped with the cooked scallops and finished salsa. Garnish with the chopped parsley and sliced green tops of the scallions. Serve the remaining lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
