Sea Scallops in Miso Butter Recipe
Tender sea scallops are seared to develop a caramelized crust and then tossed in a silky miso‑butter sauce. Earthy maitake and shimeji mushrooms add texture, while a splash of brown sugar balances the salty umami, and optional cured egg yolk gives a luxurious finish.

Ingredients
- sea scallops
- maitake and shimeji mushrooms
- scallions, to taste
- cured egg yolk, optional
Miso Butter Sauce
- 1 tsp butter
- 2 tbsp miso paste
- 1 tsp garlic paste or chopped garlic
- brown sugar, to taste
- finely chopped scallop outer muscle
- a splash water
Instructions
- 1Tear the maitake and shimeji mushrooms into chunks and sauté them in a little oil over medium‑high heat, adding a pinch of salt; cook until they develop a nice color but remain tender, then remove and set aside.
- 2Pat the scallops dry with paper towels, then place them uncovered in the refrigerator overnight to dehydrate slightly. Using a small knife, separate the tiny outer muscle from each scallop and chop it finely.
- 3Heat a skillet over high heat, add a generous drizzle of oil, and season the scallops with salt. When the pan is very hot, sear the scallops for about 2 minutes without moving them, until a golden crust forms; transfer the scallops to a plate and let them rest.
- 4Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same pan. Stir in the miso paste, garlic, brown sugar, the finely chopped scallop outer muscle, and a splash of water. Scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan and whisk until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
- 5Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed; optionally stir in a few spoonfuls of the rested scallop juices for extra depth.
- 6Arrange the sautéed mushrooms on a serving plate, place the seared scallops on top, and spoon the miso‑butter sauce over everything. Garnish with chopped scallions and, if using, grated cured egg yolk.
