Broiled scallops with sweet lime sauce

Serves 4

Ingredients

  1. 4 tablespoons honey
  2. 2 tablespoons lime juice
  3. 1 tablespoon olive or canola oil
  4. 1 pound bay or sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
  5. 2 teaspoons grated lime peel
  6. 1 lime, cut into 4 wedges

Directions

Heat the broiler. Position the rack 4 inches from the heat source. Cover a broiler pan or cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Spray generously with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice and oil. Add the scallops and toss gently to coat with the honey mixture. Arrange the scallops in a single layer on the prepared broiler pan or baking sheet.
Broil until opaque throughout when tested with the tip of a knife, about 5 minutes. Turn the scallops over and broil for another minute.
Divide the scallops onto 4 warmed plates. Pour any juices from the broiler pan or baking sheet over the scallops. Sprinkle with grated lime peel and serve with a lime wedge.
