This elegant scallop sauté with miso sauce is a sophisticated high-protein dish that balances delicate seafood with deep, savoury Japanese flavours. The succulent scallops are quickly seared to achieve a golden crust while remaining tender in the middle, then finished with a rich glaze of white miso, mirin, and a touch of double cream. It is a wonderful example of fusion cooking, combining traditional French-style searing techniques with the salty-sweet complexity of fermented soy paste and sharp wholegrain mustard.
Ideal as a light main course or an impressive dinner party starter, this recipe is naturally packed with nutrients and heart-healthy proteins. The addition of fresh, peppery watercress provides a crisp contrast to the buttery sauce, while a final dusting of Parmesan adds an unexpected but delicious umami depth. Serve it alongside steamed greens or crusty bread to soak up every drop of the luxurious miso dressing.
