Healthy BBQ Scallop Recipes

Easy seafood menu ideas start with BBQ scallop recipes because scallops are so easy to cook. 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 over coals 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.

If using the searing plate on your gas grill then you don't need to worry about this last point.

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.

Timing here is critcal because you need to be careful not to overcook your scallops and at the same time you don't want the sauce to split. Make your sauce first like this.

Melt the butter in the microwave and over a very gentle heat drizzle the butter drop by drop into a pan containing the egg yolk and whisk until the sauce has absorbed all the butter. Remove from the heat and keep whisking.

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 sauce with added chopped fennel and pour over the scallops.

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