Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice 1/2 teaspoon agave nectar or corn syrup 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 medium Hass avocado, pitted 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons Brown Butter, cooled 2 slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch-long pieces 6 to 8 sea scallops 1 tablespoon butter Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 1/2 cup red or yellow cherry tomatoes, halved 2 lovage leaves or celery leaves, torn Fleur de sel

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, agave nectar, vanilla, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle in extra-virgin olive oil, while continuing to whisk, until an emulsion has formed. Set vinaigrette aside.

Remove flesh from avocado and place in the jar of a blender along with 1 teaspoon salt, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons water, olive oil, and brown butter; blend until smooth.

Place bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon, turning, until fat has been rendered, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon from skillet; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.

Pour off bacon fat from skillet and discard. Return skillet to stove and place over high heat. Season scallops with salt and pepper; add to skillet. Sear scallops 1 minute, add butter and turn scallops; sear 1 minute more. Remove pan from heat.

Spread a spoonful of avocado puree on each serving plate. Divide scallops evenly between plates; drizzle with vinaigrette. In a medium bowl, add bacon, tomatoes, lovage, and remaining vinaigrette; toss to combine. Divide evenly between plates, season with fleur de sel, and serve immediately.
