Ingredients

2 eggs, hard-boiled
1 lemon, diced
15 gram capers
1 sprig parsley (approximately 8 leaves), finely chopped
30 gram olive oil
1 bunch asparagus (approximately 12 pieces)
8 scallops
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
100 gram white bread (pain de mie), toasted and made into croutons
mizuna, chive blossoms, wild spinach, or brassica (etc.), for garnish

Directions

Separate the hard-boiled egg whites and yolks and finely chop both. Combine the diced lemon, capers, parsley, and eggs and then add olive oil and mix well. Set the vinaigrette aside.
Blanch the asparagus in boiling, salted water for 2 minutes.
Lightly season the scallops with salt, and then sear them for 1 minute on each side over medium-high heat. After searing the scallops, season them with pepper.
Plate a generous amount of cool vinaigrette first, and then place the warm asparagus and scallops on top.
Garnish with croutons and edible herbs and flowers just before serving.
