Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the basil, parsley, butter, lemon zest, coriander, turmeric, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly so all of the herbs and spices are really incorporated into the butter. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Step 2

1 Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season well with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and sear-ideally without moving them-until deeply golden on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat and add the basil-turmeric butter to the pan, spooning it over the scallops as it melts, about 30 seconds. Transfer the scallops to a platter.

Step 3

2 Squeeze a ton of lemon juice over the top and serve immediately.
