Instructions

Step 1

Salsa: In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside at room temperature (this salsa is best enjoyed at room temperature).

Step 2

Scallops and Vegetables: Preheat the grill, setting the burners to medium-high. Oil the grate.

Step 3

Brush the vegetables with half of the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Quickly grill the zucchini until softened, about 30 seconds on each side. Grill the asparagus for 2 minutes on each side. Place the vegetables on a large serving dish.

Step 4

Brush the scallops with the remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper. Grill the scallops for 2 minutes on each side or until the desired doneness (see note).

Step 5

Place the scallops over the vegetables. Top with the salsa.

Step 6

NOTES: Large scallops are perfect for grilling. If you have medium-sized scallops, thread them onto a skewer to make them easier to handle.

Step 7

We prefer to cook scallops primarily on one side until nicely caramelized, then finish them off quickly on the second side until just lightly cooked at the centre.
