Glowing Scallops over broccoli

I took the flavor combination from this glowing lentil soup recipe: https://ohsheglows.com/2016/04/03/glowing-spiced-lentil-soup/

seasonings:
turmeric
cumin
onion
garlic
cinnamon
cardamom
pepper
lime juice
cayenne or chili flakes
salt (not much if you’re using seafood with this)

Other:
can of coconut milk
can of diced tomatoes
Broccoli
red cabbage
scallops or other protein like chicken, beef or beans
Any roasted vegetable should do but I liked the idea of broccoli because it gets pretty dry and seems like it would soak up the soup.

Combine seasonings with the coconut milk and diced tomatoes in a pot on the stove. Once it got simmering I added a whole bag, 16 ounces, of scallops. After tasting it, I feel it’s a bit too fishy, so next time I do this I think I will just use chicken or beef.

roast the broccoli and red cabbage in the oven in a glass dish with oil, pepper and onion or whatever seasonings you want, but it should be lighter flavored than the soup. In hindsight, I maybe could have just cooked the vegetables in the soup and skipped a whole step.

In this dish the star of the show should be the seasoning combination. This is why I think using seafood was a mistake because it distracts too much. This is why I went with broccoli because it doesn’t have much of its own flavor.
