- For the Tropical Fruit Salsa:
Instructions
-
Let's begin by making the tropical fruit salsa. Take a mixing bowl and add all the ingredients for the salsa. Squeeze some fresh lime juice over the mixture and season it with salt and black pepper to your liking. Carefully toss everything together to make sure the flavors blend perfectly. Set the salsa aside to let the flavors soak in.
-
Pat the sea scallops dry with a paper towel, ensuring they are moisture-free to achieve a good sear. Season the sea scallops generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
-
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it is very hot. Sear the scallops for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden crust and become opaque in the center. Be cautious not to overcook them; scallops should remain tender.
-
Serve the seared scallops immediately, garnished with a generous spoonful of the tropical fruit salsa and a dash of fresh mint.
