Heat the butter in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once melted, add the scallops and cook for 1 minute on each side. Remove the pan from the heat then remove the scallops from the pan and set them aside. To the butter remaining in the pan, add the miso and 1 tbsp water then stir together to get a sauce.
