- 1 pound bay scallops
 - Salt and ground black pepper
 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
 - 3/4 cup apricot preserves
 - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
 - 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
 
- Season both sides of scallops with salt and black pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add scallops and cook 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
 - In a small bowl, whisk together apricot preserves, lime juice and soy sauce. Add mixture to scallops and bring to a simmer. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes until scallops are opaque and cooked through and sauce reduces and thickens.
