  "3 tbsp olive oil (40.5 g)",
  "½ cup low-sodium chicken broth",

   "text": "Take the scallops from the fridge 10 minutes early. Pull off the small tough side muscle if one is still on. Spread them over a folded paper towel, top with a second one, and press gently. Dry scallops brown; wet ones steam and turn grey."

   "text": "Put the broccoli and the 3 tbsp water in a 12-inch skillet, cover, and steam over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes, until bright green and just tender. Tip it onto a plate, toss it with 1 tbsp of the olive oil, and keep it warm. Wipe the skillet dry."

   "@type": "HowToStep",
   "text": "Set the skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp of the oil. When the oil shimmers, lay in the scallops in one layer with room between them (two batches if they touch). Sprinkle half the salt and half the pepper over the tops. Leave them alone 2 minutes, until the underside is deep golden, then flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Move them to a plate."

   "text": "Scallops are done when they are milky white or opaque and firm; the safe minimum for fish and shellfish is 145 °F (USDA). A scallop pulled a minute early is better than one a minute late, because they turn rubbery fast."

   "text": "Turn the heat to medium. Stir the garlic powder into the empty pan for 15 seconds, then pour in the broth and lemon juice, scraping up the brown bits. Boil hard about 2 minutes, until it is reduced by about half. Take the pan off the heat."

   "text": "Whisk in the last 1 tbsp of oil, the rest of the salt and pepper, and the parsley. The oil thickens the sauce slightly as it cools."
