Aioli:

  2. Grate peeled apple and add to fennel.
  3. Mix with a little olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper, sugar and chopped fennel.
  4. Leave to one side for 10mins to allow the mix to soften.

Scallops:

  1. In a hot pan, sear scallops lightly, season and allow to take nice colour.
  2. Put a teaspoon of butter in pan and allow them to go golden brown. Then turn and allow to cook for another minute.
  3. Deglaze them with lemon juice.

To Serve:

  1. Place a small spoon of aioli on the plate and spread out.
  2. Place fennel salad on top followed by scallops.
  3. To finish use Sakura leaves with a little olive oil.
