8 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/2 head light-green cabbage, sliced
Kosher salt
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/4 pounds sea scallops
Freshly ground pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed if packed in salt
1/4 cup golden raisins
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley

1
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Sprinkle in the sugar and cook until it just turns golden.

Wipe out the skillet, then add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter and melt over medium heat.

Brush the scallops with some of the butter and season with salt and pepper; arrange in a single layer over the cabbage in the casserole dish and broil until firm, 5 to 7 minutes.

Meanwhile, continue cooking the butter over low heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until toasted and fragrant, 5 minutes.
