Serves 4 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

Ingredients

Abalone steaks
4, cleaned and patted dry
Unsalted butter
4 tablespoons
Garlic
3 cloves, minced
Lemon
1, juiced and zested
Fresh parsley
2 tablespoons, chopped
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Lemon wedges
for garnish

Instructions

  1. Clean the abalone steaks thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure a nice sear.
  2. Season both sides of the abalone steaks generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Carefully add the abalone steaks to the skillet. Cook for approximately 2 minutes on each side, allowing them to turn a golden brown and become tender. Avoid overcooking to keep the abalone juicy.
  5. Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the abalone steaks, adding a zing of brightness. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and chopped parsley for added flavor and color.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and serve the abalone steaks immediately, garnished with lemon wedges for an extra burst of citrus.

Tips

  • 💡 For an added layer of flavor, consider marinating the abalone steaks in lemon juice, garlic, and parsley for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • 💡 Pair this dish with a light, crisp white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc, to complement the flavors of the seafood.
  • 💡 If fresh abalone is unavailable, canned or frozen abalone can be used, but ensure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
