- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 12 toothpicks
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.

Cut each bacon slice in half. Wrap each scallop with a half-slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick.

In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Sear the bacon-wrapped scallops in batches, about 1-2 minutes per side, until bacon begins to crisp.
Step 6
Transfer the seared scallops to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the scallops are cooked through and bacon is crispy.
Step 8
Remove from oven and drizzle with lemon juice.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy the savory and sweet flavors with your friends and family!
