Seared Scallops with Asparagus Sauce

Name: Seared Scallops with Asparagus Sauce
Ingredients: 6 sea scallops*; Salt; 1 pound asparagus; 1/2 cup warm chicken broth (if cooking gluten-free use gluten-free stock); 2-3 tablespoons butter; 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or canola oil; *Sea scallops are the big scallops, about 1 1/2-inches wide, as opposed to bay scallops which are small, about 1/2-inch wide. Look for “dry pack” scallops, as they are not treated with chemicals to keep them fresh; the chemicals are not overly harmful, but they change the texture of the scallop and make them harder to sear properly.
