Steps

Put the spinach and onion in a large heatproof bowl.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Lift it out with a slotted spoon and pour off all but about 3 tablespoons of the fat.
Turn the heat to high. Season the scallops with salt and pepper and sear them in the bacon fat in one layer, 1 minute, then toss and cook about 1 minute more, until opaque all the way through. Move them to a plate.
Turn the heat to low. Whisk the vinegar, mustard and honey into the pan, scraping up the browned bits. It will spit, so stand back.
Pour the warm dressing over the spinach and toss until it just starts to wilt. Top with the scallops and bacon and eat right away.
