Method
Prepare the Asparagus
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
- In the same pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the asparagus back to the pot and sauté for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the Scallops
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the scallops to the skillet.
- Sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Make the Creamy Sauce
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Whisk together and let simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Stir in the fresh dill and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Bowls
- Divide the sautéed asparagus among four bowls.
- Top with seared scallops and drizzle with the creamy sauce.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes
For best results, use dry scallops and ensure they are patted dry before searing to achieve a nice crust.
