First, prepare the spinach leaves according to the package instructions. Sauté finely diced onion in oil, add the spinach and crushed garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Wash and dry the scallops, then season one side with sea salt and white pepper. Add to the hot oil and sear. After about 3 minutes, turn and season. The scallop flesh should not become tough or hard. Once the scallops are browned on both sides, drizzle with a little Cointreau and toss briefly in the pan again. A fresh green salad goes well with this dish.
