Grilled Scallops with Mediterranean-Style Tomato Salsa

sea scallops, cleaned ((about 12 to 13 scallops))

Extra virgin olive oil

Kosher salt and black pepper

lemons,

tomato salsa,

Make the Mediterranean-Style Homemade Salsa according to this recipe. Set aside for now.

Heat a grill pan or outdoor gas grill to medium-high heat and brush the cooking surface with olive oil.

Pat the scallops dry and brush with extra virgin olive oil and season on both sides with Kosher salt and black pepper.

When ready, assemble the scallops on the hot cooking surface and grill for 2 minutes on each side (you should see grill marks). Meanwhile, grill the lemon halves, flesh side down until you see grill marks.

Remove the scallops from the heat and immediately squeeze a half lemon all over.

Transfer the salsa to serving plates and top with the grilled scallops. Add the remaining grilled lemon to the side. Serve immediately.

Amazing recipe. I just brought some HUGE sea scallops that I’m throwing on my charcoal grill along with a huge New York strip steak. I’m definitely going to try the Mediterranean salsa. Thanks for this amazing recipe.

Have used a couple of your recipes … all good!

Thank you, Suzy for your always delicious recipes. Unrelated question to the amazing scallops but I adore the fork pattern in the photo. Would you share where you got them if they aren’t vintage please?!

Scallops aren't usually easy for me, but you made this simple enough for me to try again. So glad you shared this.

This was way better than you could ever get a restaurant! We loved this!

I grew up inland and don't eat much fish.  I'm leaning into it and this looks divine!  I can't wait to try it!

Delicious!  Easy, and such fresh flavors!

These were great! I had never grilled scallops before and they came out perfect.

I made this tonight, and I am still dreaming about it!  I pulled the mint and jalapeno from my garden which made this even more refreshing.  Im a big fan of your recipes and I share your site with my friends and Mediterranean diet forums all the time.

Really quick and scrumptious! Loved the addition of the Mediterranean salsa.  Can't wait to make this one again!
