For assembly

Pat the scallops completely dry with paper towels, then season all over with 1/4 tsp of the sea salt. Set aside on a clean plate while you prepare the purée.
- 2
Combine the avocado flesh, 2 tbsp lime juice, cilantro, ginger, olive oil, and 1/4 tsp sea salt in a small food processor or blender. Process until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides once. Taste and adjust salt or lime as needed. Transfer to a small bowl and press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning.
