I got this recipe from bon appetit magazine. This is really quick to throw together. I had never heard of white balsamic vinegar before, so I researched it online. Most of what I found said it was rice wine vinegar. That is what I used in this recipe and the dressing was incredible. I also couldn't find the coriander seeds and didn't want to go to another store so I used ground corinder and just sprinkled a little on the scallops. This is a very "pretty" dish when done.

Coriander Scallops with Orange-Ginger Dressing

3 T. Orange juice concentrate
2 T. white balsamic vinegar
3 T. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 t. minced peeled fresh ginger
1 T. chopped fresh cilantro
2 T. coriander seeds, coarsely crushed
16 sea scallops, side muscles removed
8 c. mixed baby greens
1 navel orange, peel and pith remove, cut between membranes into segments

Whisk juice concentrate, vinegar, 1 T. oil, ginger, and cilantro in small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Place crushed coriander seeds on plate. Sprinkle scallops with salt and pepper, then press both sides in coriander to coat. Heat 2 T. oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops and cook until golden brown and just opaque in center, 1 ½ to 2 minutes per side.

Divide greens, orange, and scallops among 4 plates. Drizzle dressing over.
