The flavors of coriander and tangerine complement the sweet scallops in this easy-to-make dinner salad. Frisée has a big flavor and a sturdy texture, which stands up to the warm scallops. If you can't find frisée, make your own mix of greens; escarole and curly endive are great ones to include.

Directions

Step 1
To prepare vinaigrette: Whisk olive oil, tangerine (or orange) zest and juice, vinegar, shallot, herbs, mustard, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.

Step 2
To prepare salad: Combine spinach, frisee and tangerine (or orange) segments in a large salad bowl. Add the vinaigrette and toss to coat. Divide the salad among 4 plates.
Step 3
Coarsely grind or chop coriander seeds and combine with kosher salt and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle on both sides of scallops. Heat canola oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add the scallops and cook until they develop a golden brown crust and are just opaque all the way through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve the scallops on the salad.

Tips

Tip: To segment a tangerine or orange: Remove peel and white pith, then slice off both ends. Use a sharp knife to cut the segments from the surrounding membranes.

Ingredient Note: Be sure to buy “dry” sea scallops. “Wet” scallops, which have been treated with sodium tripolyphosphate (STP), are mushy and less flavorful. Some scallops will have a small white muscle on the side; remove it before cooking.

so good! and healthy! the oranges and the coriander were a perfect mix. it was a great combination between sweet and tangy and then adding the warm scallops just made a great combo. The dressing was so delicious too- i'll probalby make the dressing again to put on any salad.

This was a satisfying yet healthy salad. I used spinach and endive, rather than the frisee. I omitted the mustard from the dressing and used plain white vinegar for the white wine vinegar. If I make it again, I would drain a can of no-sugar-added mandarin oranges (in juice rather than syrup) rather than segment the tangerines - that was the worst part!
