Ingredients

• 1 lb Sea scallops
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.33 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish and arrange the scallops in a single layer.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.

Step 4

Drizzle the garlic butter evenly over the scallops, ensuring each one is coated.

Step 5

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on top of the scallops, pressing gently to adhere the topping.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scallops are opaque and the topping is golden brown.

Step 7

Optional: For a crispier topping, broil the scallops for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon on the side.
