Nutritional values

Scallops have a very tasty, slightly sweet, nutty flesh with a high content of vitamin B12 and iron. This dish also contains half your daily requirement of zinc, which helps fulfil numerous important metabolic tasks in the body.

For a full meal, serve a fresh, whole grain baguette with the scallops. For a vitamin-rich side, make a mixed leaf salad with cherry tomatoes, dressed with a vinaigrette of white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, a little honey, and olive oil.
