Grilled Scallops and Persimmon with Dill-Infused Avocado Oil

Ingredients

1/4 cup avocado oil
1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Gourmet Collection Dill Weed
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon agave nectar or honey
1 teaspoon McCormick® Gourmet Collection Coriander Seed, coarsely crushed
3/4 teaspoon McCormick® Gourmet Collection Sicilian Sea Salt
1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Gourmet Collection Black Pepper, Coarse Grind
1/4 teaspoon McCormick® Gourmet Collection Ginger, Ground
1 pound large sea scallops (about 12)
1 large papaya, peeled, seeded and cut into 8 (2x1-inch) pieces
1 Fuyu persimmon, cut into 8 wedges or 1 large ripe mango, peeled and cut into 8 (2x1-inch) pieces

Directions

1. Heat oil in small saucepan on medium-low heat. Add dill weed; cook and stir 1 minute or until fragrant. Cool slightly. Stir in lime juice, agave nectar, coriander seed, sea salt, pepper and ginger until well mixed. Reserve 3 tablespoons oil mixture for serving with the skewers.

2. Drizzle remaining oil mixture over scallops and fruit in large bowl. Toss gently to coat well. Cover. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Alternately thread 3 scallops and 2 each papaya and persimmon pieces onto each double skewer.

3. Grill over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes or until scallops are opaque and fruit is lightly browned, turning once. Drizzle skewers with reserved oil mixture to serve.

Tips

Test Kitchen Tip: If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. To prevent scallops and fruit from spinning around as you turn the skewers, thread them onto two parallel skewers.
