  • 1 chili pepper
  • 1 small shallot

  2. Make the dressing → In a bowl, combine clementine segments, chili, shallots, green onion, ginger, olive oil, and maple syrup. If your clementines aren’t juicy enough, add a splash of passion fruit for extra acidity.
  3. Segment the 2 other clementines. 
  4. Assemble → Spoon the dressing over the scallops, finish with clementine zest, and top with a few trout roe for a final burst of flavor.
