Instructions
Thinly slice the scallops crosswise into thirds, roughly 1/4″ in width, so you have three slices out of each scallop.
Arrange scallop slices in an even layer on a tray or large plate, sprinkle all over with the salt. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, no more than 2. This helps season, quick cure, and tenderize the scallops.
Process the tomatillos, jalapeño, onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a blender. You don’t want it to be completely smooth, you should still see flecks of ingredients. Season with salt and fresh ground pepper.
Divide the slices onto 3 large plates or shallow bowls. Spoon a generous amount of the sauce all over the scallops. Top with the optional toppings: cucumber, onion slices, cilantro, jalapeño slices, olive oil, and salt & pepper. Enjoy.
