- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Season scallops with salt and pepper. Place half of the scallops in the frying pan without crowding; cook until browned, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove scallops to a plate. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon butter in the frying pan, and cook remaining scallops. Remove to plate.
- Wipe out frying pan, and return frying pan to medium heat. Pour in wine, and boil 1 or 2 minutes, until reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Reduce heat to low, and whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter; just softening butter to form a smooth sauce. Stir in salt, lemon zest and fresh tarragon. Pour sauce over scallops and serve.
