Add 1 tablespoon of fresh dill or parsley to the dressing for a brighter, herbal flavor.
Whisk in 1/4 teaspoon of sriracha or a pinch of cayenne pepper into the mayonnaise for a gentle heat.
Crumble 2-3 strips of crispy cooked bacon and fold it into the scallop mixture before serving.
Substitute half of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt for a tangier, lower-fat dressing.

Yes, absolutely. Thaw them completely in the refrigerator overnight. Before cooking, it's crucial to rinse them and pat them extremely dry with paper towels to remove all excess moisture, which is key for getting a good sear.
Sea scallops are much larger (about 1.5 inches in diameter) and are best for searing. Bay scallops are smaller, sweeter, and more delicate. For this roll, large sea scallops are highly recommended for the best texture and presentation.
They cook very quickly, about 2-3 minutes per side. Look for a deep golden-brown crust on both flat sides. The edges of the scallop should turn from translucent to opaque. If you cut one open, it should be white and firm, not rubbery.
They pair wonderfully with classic New England sides like coleslaw, potato chips, a simple green salad with vinaigrette, or French fries.
