This appears on a menu. What would be the best explanation or word for "seared" in Japanese?

That would be my suggestion if it's the name of the dish.
If it's just part of the explanation of what's _in_ a particular dish (along with a bunch of other ingredients, for example), then it might be better to say あぶった帆立.
HTH, anyway...

Yasutomo Kanazawa: Yes, あぶり焼きwould be a perfect word. Sear here means to lightly roast so that the juice of the meat or whatever you're cooking does not ooze.

seared scallops 帆立のソテー

Explanation:
If the scallop is fried quickly using a hot fring pan just to brown the surface, this may be better. 「あぶり焼き」is more like "grilled" or "broiled".
