Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Step 2

    Puree the tomatoes in a food mill, blender or food processor. Combine in a small nonreactive saucepan with the shallot, garlic and cream. Bring to a boil, turn the heat to low and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley, and keep warm.

  3. Step 3

    Place the scallops on a nonstick or lightly greased baking sheet, and bake for 3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Reheat the sauce slightly; over minimum heat, whisk in the butter a little at a time until the sauce thickens slightly. Add the chives. Adjust the texture of the sauce by reducing it a little further or by stirring in a little of the fish stock or water. Taste the sauce, and add a little lemon juice if it is bland. Serve the scallops with a bit of the sauce.
