Grilled Sea Scallops with Honey Garlic Glaze

Thanks to the Catholic faith, this time of year,  is known as Fish Fry Friday & Culvers brings back the fast food walleye. Instead of going out for some over priced, batter fried fish that is not healthy for you, why not make something better & cheaper at home? And it does not have to be a Friday!  When on sale, Scallops have become a favorite of ours but we still have not found that one recipe we really enjoy…maybe this one will be it…... 



Grilled Sea Scallops with Honey Garlic Glaze

6-8 large sea scallops
½ cup honey
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tbs olive oil
2 Tbs cider vinegar
¼ tsp paprika
¼ tsp black pepper
Pinch salt


  • Season the scallops with a little bit of kosher salt & drizzle of olive oil.  Set aside.
  • To make the glaze:  combine the honey, oil, garlic, vinegar, paprika, pepper & salt. Whisk well.
  • Grill the scallops over medium-low heat with well-lubricated grates. The scallops will require about 4-5 minutes per side at this low temperature.  Baste every time you turn them.

Tupps Tidbits ~look for dry packed sea scallops (not bay scallops)…do not over grill because your scallops will get tough & burn the glaze


It did not get as crusty as we would have liked it to, but it did have a very light sweet taste. We felt it was better than any other scallop recipe we have tried & it was very quick & easy to make. We are going to make this a “KEEPER” for now but still keep looking for the one recipe that makes you go WOW this is awesome and we also have Fisherman’s Inn!
