4 servings
- 1 ½ lb large dry-packed sea scallops (about 12–16 scallops), side muscle removed
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
For the sauce
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
- 4 scallions, white and light green parts thinly sliced, dark green tops reserved for garnish
- 3 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ cup homemade broth or aip-compliant bone broth
Chef's tipUse the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. It won't give the body or richness of bone broth, so it's best where broth is mainly a cooking liquid or flavor base. - 1 tsp arrowroot starch
- 1 tsp cold water
- 1 tsp coconut oil
For serving
- scallion dark green tops, thinly sliced (optional)
- lime wedges (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Pat the scallops thoroughly dry on all sides with paper towels, then season evenly with the fine sea salt. Set aside on a clean plate while you prepare the sauce ingredients.
