Healthy BBQ Scallop Recipes

Easy seafood menu ideas start with BBQ scallop recipes. They make a healthy alternative for the barbecue grill and the fennel sauce that I’ve got for this recipe is delicious.

TIP - I recommend a Teflon® barbecue mat for cooking scallops because they can really easily fall through the grill and onto the coals. To be honest the same applies for the fennel in this recipe too.

Fish and fennel is a tried and tested formula so let’s get the barbecue out and start grilling!

Ingredients:-

• 16 scallops
• 1 fennel bulb
• 1 egg yolk
• 6 tablespoons melted butter
• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method:-

Take the fennel bulb, pull apart the “leaf” layers and soak them in olive oil for half and hour. Place the barbecue mat on the grill and brush lightly with olive oil. Grill the fennel for about 10 minutes on hot coals to soften but taking care not to burn and when cooked chop it up finely.

Now pop your scallops on the barbecue mat, season lightly with salt and pepper and grill for a couple of minutes on each side (scallops don’t take long to cook).

Arrange the scallops 4 scallops on each plate, whisk up the egg yolk with melted butter, stir in the fennel and pour over the scallops.

A lovely chilled glass of Muscadet should make this BBQ suggestion complete.
