Season the scallops liberally with salt and a little bit of white pepper. Grill the scallops for a minute on each side until the outsides have grill marks and the insides are still mostly raw.
Toss the tomatoes and arugula together and dress with lemon juice and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and white pepper.
Place 3 scallops per plate, and garnish with 2 oz of salsa verde and a small handful of the salad.
