Fish cooks more quickly than beef or chicken and are an equally great source of protein, so consider fish when in a hurry. Recipe courtesy of dietitian Cassie Bjork: http://www.dietitiancassie.com/
INGREDIENTS
SERVES 1

2
Add the oil to the pan and place on high heat.
3
Season the scallops with salt and pepper.
4
Once the oil begins to heat up, add the scallops to the pan.
