From the Test Kitchen

In this elegant dish, scallops are simply seared, then basted with our silky lemon-butter pan sauce, which we’ll reserve to spoon on top just before serving. Classic sides of creamy mashed potatoes and roasted broccoli—finished with a touch of fresh lemon juice—round out the meal.

Prepare & roast the broccoli:
1 Prepare & roast the broccoli:

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Fill a medium pot with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the bottom 1/2 inch of the broccoli stem; cut the broccoli into small florets. Place on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 18 to 20 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

2 Cook & mash the potatoes:

While the broccoli roasts, large dice the potatoes. Add to the pot of boiling water. Cook 16 to 18 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Turn off the heat.

Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

While the potatoes cook, quarter and deseed the lemon. Pat the scallops dry with paper towels. Using your hands, remove and discard the tough side muscle from each scallop.

Once the potatoes have cooked about 10 minutes, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned scallops and cook 4 to 5 minutes on the first side, or until browned. Flip the scallops, then add the remaining butter and the juice of 2 lemon wedges.
