Introduction

Indulge in the delicate, buttery perfection of Grilled Scallops with Sage Butter, a dish that transforms simple ingredients into an elegant masterpiece. Searing the scallops on the Arteflame’s high-heat cooktop creates a beautifully caramelized crust while keeping the inside tender and juicy. The rich, nutty aroma of sage-infused butter enhances their natural sweetness, adding depth and sophistication to every bite. Whether served as an appetizer or a main course, this dish is a quick yet impressive way to enjoy restaurant-quality scallops with a subtle smoky finish.

Ingredients:

• 6 Large Scallops, cleaned and muscle removed
• ½ cup Butter
• 3 Fresh Sprigs of Sage
• Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat Arteflame Grill: Start by heating your Arteflame grill to a medium-high heat, preparing it for direct grilling.

2. Prepare Sage Butter: In a small cast iron skillet placed on the grill, combine ½ cup butter, 3 sprigs of fresh sage, and a sprinkle of salt & pepper. Allow the butter to melt and start to brown slightly, infusing it with sage flavor.

3. Cook Scallops: Pour a small amount of the sage butter mixture onto the grill's cooktop. Place the scallops directly on the grill, letting them cook in the butter mixture. Grill for about 3 to 5 minutes until they start to turn golden brown.

4. Flip and Finish: Add a bit more of the sage butter mixture over the scallops before flipping them to the other side. Allow them to cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, ensuring they're golden brown and cooked through.

5. Serve Warm: Once cooked, sprinkle the scallops with a bit more black pepper. Serve them warm, right off the grill, for a deliciously buttery and savory seafood dish.

Tips

• Ensure scallops are dry before placing them on the grill to achieve a perfect sear.
• Use high-quality butter for the best flavor.
• Do not overcook the scallops; they should be tender, not rubbery.

Variations

• Try adding minced garlic to the sage butter for extra flavor.
• Substitute sage with rosemary or thyme for a different herb profile.
• Drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving for a bright finish.

Best Pairings

• Pair with a chilled glass of Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc.
• Serve alongside a light arugula salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Enjoy with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sage butter.

Conclusion

Grilled Scallops in Sage Butter is a simple yet elegant seafood dish that showcases the delicate sweetness of scallops with a rich, aromatic butter sauce. Perfect for special occasions or a gourmet meal at home.
