Calling all seafood enthusiasts! Are you ready to embark on a culinary journey that celebrates the bounty of the ocean? Look no further than M-Ocean Seasoning blend, a handcrafted blend from Pollen Ranch designed to unlock a symphony of flavors in your favorite seafood dishes.

M-Ocean Seasoning is a love letter to the sea. The first whiff explodes with the intoxicating aroma of toasted crushed almonds, hinting at the nutty depth it adds to fish. This richness is perfectly balanced by the exotic fragrance of Pollen Ranch's own hand-collected fennel pollen, a unique ingredient known for its subtle licorice sweetness.

Unlocking the Culinary Treasures of the Sea

M-Ocean Seasoning isn't just another seasoning; it's a versatile tool that can transform your seafood repertoire. Here are three exciting recipes that showcase its magic, guaranteed to elevate your next seafood feast:

1. Pan-Seared Scallops with M-Ocean Crust and Citrus Zest

These pan-seared scallops are a stunning appetizer or light main course. The M-Ocean Seasoning creates a beautiful crust, while the citrus zest adds a refreshing touch.

Ingredients:

· 1 pound large sea scallops

· 2 tablespoons olive oil

· 1/4 cup M-Ocean Seasoning blend

· 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

· 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

· Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:

· Pat the scallops dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

· In a shallow bowl, combine M-Ocean Seasoning and lemon zest. Dredge each scallop in the seasoning mixture, ensuring even coating.

· Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the scallops and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook, as scallops can become rubbery.

· Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Tips:

· For a richer flavor, sear the scallops in butter instead of olive oil.

· You can add a splash of white wine to the pan after searing the scallops to create a delicious sauce.

· 1 lemon, sliced

· 1 red bell pepper, sliced

· In a bowl, toss the sliced vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet.

· Rub the salmon fillets with olive oil and M-Ocean Seasoning blend. Place them on top of the vegetables.

· Arrange lemon slices over the salmon fillets.

· Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.

· Flake the salmon with a fork and serve with the roasted vegetables.

Tips:

· Add the white wine to the pan and deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine simmer for a few minutes to reduce slightly.
