Preheat outdoor grill or stove-top grill pan to medium-high.
Combine salt, cumin and pepper in a small cup.
Coat scallops and poblanos with cooking spray; sprinkle with 3/4 tsp salt mixture (if desired, skewer scallops for easy turning).
Grill scallops and poblanos, turning once until scallops are just cooked through and peppers are crisp-tender, about 6 minutes. Remove from grill; let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, combine remaining ingredients and remaining salt mixture in a large bowl; toss to mix and coat.
Dice grilled peppers; add to bowl. Quarter scallops; add to bowl. Toss ingredients; serve with fresh lime wedges.
