I have beautiful scallops I want to sear, but I'd like some kind of sauce, purée, or accompaniment... Suggestions?

Really good. The sauce is fantastic. And just yesterday I saw the big bulb type spring onions at the supermarket. You can sub leeks instead tho.
I'd use clarified butter to sear the scallops and put more attention to the sauce.
Asparagus is a nice dish and the sauce works well those as well for plating.
For the crème fraiche..make some yourself, with either a touch of sourcream, yogurt, or butter milk in warm cream and let it sit over night, until slightly thicken.
I really love this sauce...it's so colorful and tasteful. IMHO one of the best food52 recipes ever.
For smaller (bay) scallops that don't sear as well, a creamy sauce with mushrooms, shallots, white wine, a little gruyere and bread crumbs on top is classic/retro and delicious (aka Coquilles Saint Jacques.) My mom used to gratinee them under the broiler in big kitschy scallop shells...because Pierre Franey said to, and he knew a thing or two.
