Add half of the scallops to the pan, sear until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the scallops to a warmed plate, set aside. Repeat with the remaining scallops.

Recipe Note

The delicious taste of scallops is perfectly complemented by a wonderful fresh fruit salsa in this quick but elegant dish. Be sure to use large, plump sea scallops rather than smaller bay scallops and take care not to overcook the scallops;they should remain tender and moist. Feel free to substitute any of your favorite exotic fruits for the pineapple and mango in the salsa.
