Seared scallops with pineapple-cucumber salsa

1) In a bowl, combine the cucumber, pineapple, coriander, red onion, lime juice, lime zest, jalapeno, salt and hot sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.

2) Rinse the scallops and pat them dry. Season them with salt and pepper, to taste.

3) Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the scallops, without moving them in the pan, until golden, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

Arrange scallops on serving plates and serve with a generous topping of salsa.
