First, pat dry the sea scallops using paper towels. This will help to get a nice sear. Then sprinkle the scallops on both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and when it begins to shimmer, add the trimmed green beans. Season the beans with salt and pepper.
3
Stir and sauté the beans for about 5 minutes or until they are tender but still vibrant green. Transfer the sautéed beans to a plate and set aside.
4
In the same skillet, add the scallops. Make sure not to crowd the skillet; if needed, sear the scallops in batches. Sear each side for about 3 minutes or until they have a golden crust.
5
Once the scallops are seared, reduce the heat to low. Add the unsalted butter to the pan. Once it's melted, stir in the minced garlic, fresh thyme, and sage leaves, until the garlic is fragrant.
6
Add back the green beans to the skillet and squeeze the juice from the half lemon over everything. Gently stir everything together for about a minute, ensuring the green beans and the scallops are coated with the herb-infused garlic butter sauce.
7
Serve the golden scallops and herb-infused green beans immediately for a gourmet dinner at home.
