Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
1 tablespoon lemon zest
-
2 tablespoons lemon juice
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
-
1 pound dry sea scallops, tough muscle removed
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-
4 cups baby arugula
Directions
-
Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to high heat (450°F to 500°F). Combine butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, salt and pepper in a medium microwaveable bowl. Microwave on High until the butter melts, about 30 seconds. Stir to blend the ingredients; set aside.
-
Pat scallops dry with a paper towel. Gently toss together the scallops and oil in a medium bowl until evenly coated. Place the scallops on oiled grill grate; grill, uncovered, until grill marks appear and the scallops are just opaque in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
-
Divide arugula among 4 plates; top with the scallops and drizzle evenly with the butter mixture.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
