Warm Scallop Salad

Description
Using fresh Scallops is the key to this simple salad.

Ingredients

 * 1½ pounds sea scallops, patted dry (about 24)
 * salt and freshly ground black pepper
 * ¼ cup olive oil
 * ½ cup green onion, sliced (2 green onions)
 * 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (3 limes)
 * 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
 * 1½ cups red bell pepper, diced
 * ½ cup corn kernels, fresh preferred
 * orange slices, for garnish (optional)

Directions

 * 1) Season scallops with salt and pepper. Using one or two large non-stick skillets, heat oil over high heat until hot.
 * 2) Add scallops and sauté until browned and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side (scallops should be opaque but not rubbery).
 * 3) Transfer scallops to a large bowl. Gently stir in green onions, lime juice and cilantro.
 * 4) Reduce heat to medium-high and add pepper and corn. Sauté until softened and slightly browned, about 3 minutes.
 * 5) Add to bowl of scallops. Serve warm atop orange slices (if using).
