Steps
- 1Begin by preheating the broiler or grill, adjusting the rack to be near the heat source. In a bowl, combine miso and mirin, whisking until a smooth mixture forms. Integrate onion, a hint of salt, and a dash of cayenne into the mixture. Gently toss in the scallops and allow them to marinate as you preheat the broiler or grill, or refrigerate for later use within 24 hours.
- 2Under the broiler, cook the dish until it achieves a light browning, without flipping, for 2 to 3 minutes. Alternatively, grill the dish and turn it over once after about a minute or 2. Finish by sprinkling lime juice over the dish before serving.
