Yuzu and Miso Glazed Scallops with Corn Purée
A Japanese-American Occasion dish, hand-dived scallops seared hard then glazed with yuzu and white miso so the Japanese citrus-umami depth and the caramelised sear produce a dish where the sweet-savoury tension is structural and the corn purée provides a silky base that makes every element sing.

Prep
Pat scallops completely dry, season flat faces with salt. Dice shallot finely. Whisk white miso, yuzu juice, honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil until smooth. Set glaze aside.

Saute
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot, cook 3 minutes until softened. Add corn kernels and vegetable stock, cook 5 minutes until tender. Stir in cream, season with salt and white pepper. Blend until smooth, pass through sieve, keep warm.

Sear
Heat oil in a wide frying pan over high heat until smoking. Add scallops flat-side down in a single layer, cook 90 seconds without moving until deep golden crust forms. Flip, add butter, baste continuously for 60 seconds. Remove when golden on both sides, slightly translucent at centre.
