Succulent Scallops in a Carrot, Orange and Cardamom Sauce

Located in Sand City, California, I took a cooking class at "The Kitchen" with Chef Todd Fisher. This colorful and flavorful dish was very easy to prepare, and makes a beautiful "ta-da" presentation at the dinner table. The scallops were succulent and perfectly seared, and the sauce was flavorful with just the right notes of cardamon.
The dish is served with a shaved asparagus salad, made with a light vinaigrette for a nice flavor contrast to the sweet of the scallops and carrot juice. Both recipes are included.
