Save buttermilk for later use and wash butter in ice cold water.
Infuse butter with garlic and herbs, form and store in parchment paper for later use.
For Scallops:
Season with salt on both sides, allow to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes and pat dry with paper towels.
Sear on medium high heat for 3 minutes per side or until a deep golden brown crust has formed on each side.
Once you flip scallops add garlic and herb butter and baste the scallops for one minute.
