Scallops with Hazelnuts and Browned Butter Vinaigrette
['5 tablespoons unsalted butter', '12 large sea scallops (about 1 pound)', '1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, divided', '1/3 cup chopped shallots', '1/4 cup husked hazelnuts, toasted, chopped', '1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar', '1 small bunch watercress', 'thick stems trimmed']
Cook butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until deep golden brown and most of foam subsides, stirring frequently, about 4 minutes. Transfer butter to bowl, reserving skillet. Sprinkle scallops with salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon thyme; add to reserved skillet and cook until just opaque in center, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer scallops to plate. Add shallots, hazelnuts, and remaining 1 teaspoon thyme to skillet; stir 30 seconds. Remove skillet from heat. Add browned butter and vinegar; stir to blend. Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
Divide watercress between 2 plates. Top with scallops and spoon warm vinaigrette over.
