Season scallops with salt and pepper and place in the skillet and sear until golden on one side. Then turn the scallops over and top the seared side with a mound of the nut paste. Place in the hot oven. Meanwhile, prepare the vinaigrette. Squeeze juice from the orange into a small bowl and mix in oil, shallots, chervil, salt and pepper.
