Ingredients:

Serving

2/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
3 tbsp plus 1 tsp sugar
2 tsp finely grated peeled fresh ginger
2 tsp asian sesame oil
2 lb large sea scallops (30), tough muscle removed from side of each if necessary
2 tsp vegetable oil
garnish: 2 tsp sesame seeds (preferably black),toasted
accompaniment: soba salad

Directions:

Whisk together soy sauce, lemon and lime juices, sugar, ginger, and sesame oil in a wide shallow nonreactive bowl. Add scallops and marinate, covered, at room temperature, 5 minutes on each side (do not marinate any longer, or scallops will become mushy once cooked). Transfer scallops to a plate and reserve marinade.
Heat 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté scallops, 6 to 8 at a time, until golden brown and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes on each of the 2 flat sides, transferring to a plate as cooked. Wipe out skillet and add 1/2 teaspoon oil between batches.
Wipe out skillet again, then add marinade and boil until reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 2 minutes. Drizzle scallops with sauce.
