Scallops with Citrus, Pistachio, and Chervil

This dish is light and refreshing. Scallops are sweet and balanced by the bright, tart citrus. Earthy pistachios, a touch of heat from jalapeños, and bright herbal flavors from chervil, which has a very mild anise note tie everything together. If you can find yuzu, substitute that for all citruses below. Similarly, chervil can be hard to find and replaced with a mixture of parsley and tarragon.
