Miso butter scallops
Scallops cooking, the Japanese way with sweet miso!I wanted to share this recipe, because people who buy miso end up using just a little bit and storing the rest in the fridge, not knowing what else you can do with it. I run a cooking class and I meet many people from overseas who told me this.Recipe video:https://youtu.be/9g2j88Y_v04

Scallops with Lemon & Kombu
Thank you for making this recipe popular! It's delicious on its own, but wrapping it in kombu adds a different depth of flavor. The freshness of lemon is also embraced.The origin of this recipeI say it embraces the freshness of lemon, but really, I just didn't want to waste kombu for the wrapping, so I used half lemon. The origin is frugality.

Scallops and Asparagus Stir-fried in Lemon, Butter and Soy Sauce
I wondered if scallops and lemon would go well together, so I tried making this!Make sure you don't over-mix everything. Turn the heat off before adding the lemon juice.The flavor will vary depending on the amount of scallops and moisture, so adjust the amount of soy sauce as necessary! Recipe by Kyasarintei
Buttered Scallops
I love this way of cooking scallops, and I've been making them like this for a long time. They make this at the restaurant where I work, but my friends agree that my version is better.If you're using frozen scallops, the key is to dry them properly after you thaw them! If you don't pat dry their excess moisture, they'll be watery and not nearly as delicious. Recipe by O mama ma

Baby Scallops with Green Onions and a Salty, Lemon Sauce
My husband likes the occasional scallop dish fried with salt and green onion, so I have tried many times to think of simple and refreshing ingredients that he wouldn't tire of and that my children could eat as well. I settled on this recipe. Everyone in my family also loves grilled fish with lemon.-Everyone prefers different amounts of saltiness, so you don't need to add as much if you don't want to. You can season with salt afterwards to adjust the flavor.-I recommend using fresh lemons and lots of green onion. Recipe by Aozora lemon.

Seriously Good Scallops Sautéed in Miso Butter Soy Sauce
I used delicious scallops from Nova Scotia—where I live now—to make this Japanese-style dish.It's like scallops steak if you use large scallops, and it tastes so delicious.Start with 2 tablespoons for the combined seasoning; taste, and adjust if it tastes too strong. I've listed the minimum amount of sugar, so please adjust that to suit your taste. Recipe by m miller
