Served alongside buttery new potatoes and a vibrant coriander-lime mayonnaise, it provides a well-balanced meal full of bright, coastal flavours. It is a wonderful way to enjoy sustainably sourced seafood in a creative, homemade format that feels truly special.

How to make Scallop Cakes with Coriander-Lime Mayonnaise and New Potatoes

Heat olive oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until tender, about 8 minutes. Cool. Place scallops in processor. Using on/off turns, coarsely chop scallops. Transfer scallops to large bowl. Stir in onion, chopped chives, parsley, flour, ginger, lime juice, egg, salt, lime peel, and pepper. Form scallop mixture into eight 1/2-inch-thick patties, each about 3 to 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Place scallop cakes on baking sheet. Cover and chill 1 hour. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Keep chilled.)

Preheat oven to 232°C. Heat peanut oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add scallop cakes to skillet and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer cakes to baking sheet. Place in oven and bake until cooked through, about 7 minutes.

Place 2 scallop cakes on each of 4 plates. Top with Coriander-Lime Mayonnaise. Place Buttered New Potatoes with Chives alongside. Garnish scallop cakes with whole chives and coriander sprigs.
