Instructions

Preheat oven to broil.

In a bowl large enough to fit the scallops, mix together the miso, mirin and honey. Add the scallops and turn to coat.

Marinate scallops for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.

Place scallops on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil for 4 minutes on each side or until golden.

Place remaining marinade in a small saucepan and boil for 3 minutes to heat through and pour over cooked scallops if desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pat Scallops Completely Dry 🌊
Use paper towels to remove all surface moisture before searing—this ensures a golden crust and prevents the miso glaze from sliding off during cooking.
Balance Your Miso Glaze Properly ⚖️
Mix miso, mirin, and honey in a 2:1:0.5 ratio, then taste and adjust—miso can vary in saltiness, so this prevents an overly salty or cloying final dish.
Sear First, Glaze Last 🔥
Sear scallops in a hot pan until opaque (2-3 minutes per side), then brush the miso glaze in the final 30 seconds to prevent burning and preserve the delicate umami flavors.
Don't Overcrowd the Pan 🍳
Cook scallops in a single layer with space between each one—overcrowding causes steaming instead of searing and prevents that prized caramelized exterior.
Use Sushi-Grade or Diver Scallops 🏆
Seek out wild diver or sushi-grade scallops rather than farm-raised, as they have superior texture and flavor that truly shine with delicate miso preparations.
