Sweet Asian Scallop Salad




1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
12 sea scallops (about 3/4 lb)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
4 cups mixed baby salad greens
1/3 cup Asian-style salad dressing
1 can (11 ounces) no sugar added Mandarin oranges, drained
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 package (9 ounces) Chinese-style noodles
1/4 cup Fisher® Culinary Touch® Sweet Asian Blend



Combine bread crumbs, flour, salt and pepper in rimmed dish; set aside. Place scallops in shallow-rimmed dish; drizzle with lemon juice. Marinate 10 to 15 minutes, turning once after 6 minutes. Discard juice. Transfer scallops to crumb mixture; turn and gently press each side to coat. Gently shake any excess crumb mixture from scallops; set aside. Discard remaining crumb mixture.

Preheat skillet over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes until hot. Add oil and butter; heat 1 to 2 minutes until hot. Place scallops in skillet. Cook 2 to 4 minutes per side until deep golden brown. Transfer to paper-towel-lined platter to drain; loosely cover to keep warm.

Combine cornstarch, remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon chicken broth; set aside. Add remaining broth to wok; cook 2 to 3 minutes until mixture begins to bubble. Add cornstarch mixture and sesame oil to wok. Cook additional 2 to 4 minutes until thickened. Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions.

In large bowl, combine salad greens and dressing; toss to coat. Divide salad mixture evenly over 4 serving dishes. Divide oranges evenly over each salad. Top each salad with 3 scallops. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon Sweet Asian Blend. Serve immediately.
