Ingredients

• 8 pieces Fresh sea scallops
• 1 whole Lemon
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
• 1 tablespoon Dill
• 1 tablespoon Capers
• 1 cup Arugula
• 2 pieces Radishes, thinly sliced

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Place the scallops in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes. This will make them easier to slice thinly.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, slice the scallops into very thin, even rounds. Arrange the slices on a chilled serving platter so they slightly overlap.

Step 4

Zest the lemon and set aside the zest. Juice the lemon into a small bowl.

Step 5

Add the extra virgin olive oil, freshly ground black pepper, and sea salt to the lemon juice and whisk together until emulsified.

Step 6

Drizzle the dressing over the sliced scallops evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the lemon zest and chopped dill over the scallops.

Step 8

Scatter the capers over the dish, adding a subtle tanginess to the flavor profile.

Step 9

Arrange the arugula around the scallops to add a peppery freshness.

Step 10

Finish by placing the thinly sliced radishes over the carpaccio for a touch of color and crunch.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a refreshing starter, allowing the flavors to meld.
