Editor's note: The recipe below is part of a healthy and delicious spa menu developed exclusively for Epicurious by executive chef Mary Nearn of Miraval Life in Balance Spa.

Editor's notes:

·Ask your fishmonger for "dry" scallops if possible, as they retain their moisture and sear better. "Wet" scallops have been artificially plumped with liquid that they will release when they come into contact with the hot pan, causing shrinkage and slowing down the cooking.
·The hash recipe yields 3/4 cup of leftovers, which are delicious re-warmed in a pan or microwave and served with breakfast or sprinkled into soups.
·If fresh corn on the cob is unavailable, simmer the stock without corn cobs, add 3 cups frozen corn kernels in place of the fresh, and proceed as directed.
