Ingredients: 6 large diver scallops (about 8 oz total), patted completely dry; ¾ cup fresh cilantro; ½ cup flat parsley; 3 garlic cloves, minced; 1 tsp ground cumin; ½ tsp paprika; ¼ tsp cayenne; ¼ tsp ground coriander; 3 tbsp olive oil (divided); 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice; 1 tbsp red wine vinegar; 1 lemon, halved; 3 green garlic shoots or 2 scallions, sliced on the bias; sea salt & cracked black pepper; fleur de sel for finishing

Three large diver scallops, seared until mahogany-crusted and just kissed at the center, sit in a pool of verdant chermoula—a confident moroccan herb sauce of cilantro, parsley, garlic and warm spices. Charred lemon and fresh green garlic shoots add spring brightness and textural depth.
