    Ingredients

    • 1 lb. scallops
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
    • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
    • 1 tablespoon honey
    • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

    Method

    • Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Season the scallops with salt and pepper, and add them to the skillet. Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the scallops from the skillet and set aside.
    • In the same skillet, add the orange juice, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, cumin, and oregano. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    • Reduce the heat to low and add the butter, stirring until it has melted.
    • Return the scallops to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until they are heated through. 
    • Serve the scallops with the orange sauce and garnish with the chopped parsley. Enjoy!
