Steps

  • Whisk mustard, vinegar, water, and olive oil in a bowl and season with salt and white pepper.
  • Emulsify the mixture with a hand blender until thickened and stir in the chopped tarragon.
  • Toss the mixed leaves, herbs, and shallots together in a salad bowl.
  • Lightly dress the salad with the vinaigrette immediately before cooking the scallops.
  • Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat and season the scallops.
  • Sear scallops sliced-side down for 1-2 minutes until golden-brown.
  • Turn scallops, reduce heat, and cook for 1-3 minutes until just cooked through.
  • Drain scallops on kitchen paper and squeeze lemon juice over them.
  • Arrange the dressed salad on four plates and place scallops on top.
  • Drizzle the remaining grain mustard vinaigrette around the plates to finish.
