These easy baked scallops have a delightful balance of crunchy, golden-brown topping and tender, sweet scallops,  They feel decadent like scallops should, thanks to the tasty lemon-butter sauce.  Look for uniform scallops; If they’re large, you might need to bake them for more than 10 minutes.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1pound large dry sea scallops, about 16 scallops; see Tip

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon ground pepper

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons chopped shallot

½ cup whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs

1 ounce Parmesan Cheese, grated about ¼ cup

2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat leaf parsley

Directions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish with 1 tablespoon oil.  Pat scallops dry; arrange in a single layer in the dish.  Sprinkle the scallops evenly with salt and pepper

Step 2: Whisk melted butter, lemon juice and shallot in a small bowl; pour over the scallops.

Step 3: In the same bowl, combine panko, Parmesan, parsley and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil.  Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the scallops.

Step 4: Bake until the scallops are opaque and the topping is golden brown, 10-15 minutes.

Tips

Tip: We prefer “dry” sea scallops because they aren’t treated with STP (sodium tripolyphosphate).  The untreated scallops are more flavorful and have a better texture.
