Step 1
Simmer celery with 2 tbsp butter and shallot in a saucepan until very soft, about 8 minutes, then blend until smooth.
Step 2
Season scallops generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat remaining 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high.
Step 3
Sear scallops 90 seconds per side without moving until golden and edges look opaque. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Pour wine into the same skillet, scrape the browned bits, and simmer 1 minute. Return scallops to warm through.
Step 5
Toss carrot and greens with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Warm celery purée gently if needed.
Step 6
Spoon celery purée onto each plate, top with scallops, and pile salad alongside. Drizzle with pan sauce and lemon zest.
