Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat the 12 scallops dry with paper towels and season both sides with the 0.5 tsp salt. Let them sit while you cook the bacon.

  2. Step 2

    Cook the 4 bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.

  3. Step 3

    Add the 1 tbsp olive oil to the same skillet over high heat. Sear the scallops for 2 minutes per side until golden brown and opaque in the center.

  4. Step 4

    Crumble the bacon over the scallops and sprinkle with the 2 tbsp fresh dill. Serve immediately with the lemon wedge for squeezing.
