Pour the peanut oil into a pan over a high heat. Once hot, brown the scallops - less than one minute on each side - while salting each side. Place them in a suitable dish and put the dish into the oven for three minutes. Pour the passion-fruit vinaigrette into two soup plates. Put four scallops into each plate.
