Instructions

  • Heat a large non-stick sauté pan over medium heat. When warm add the olive oil and the garlic. Cook for no more than a minute, being careful not to burn the garlic. Immediately add all the spinach, turning to coat spinach in oil. When spinach is wilted remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Arrange on individual plates or a platter.
  • Place a large non-stick sauté pan over medium heat. When hot add the oil, swirling the pan to coat. Coat each side of the scallops with the flour, shaking off excess, and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 1-2 minutes. Turn and cook the other side, about 1 more minute. Set scallops aside and keep warm.
  • Set pan back over heat and add lemon juice along with 2 tablespoons water, scraping the pan with a wooden spatula to release the browned bits. Once sauce has thickened a bit, remove from heat and add 2 tablespoon butter, swirling pan to combine.
  • To plate, arrange scallops either on top or to the side of the spinach. Pour sauce over scallops.
