Ingredients

• 12 large pieces Sea scallops
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Dry white wine

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Finely chop the garlic and parsley, then set aside.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and parsley.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and place them in oven-safe ramekins or a shallow baking dish. Avoid overcrowding.

Step 6

Drizzle the garlic butter mixture evenly over the scallops.

Step 7

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture generously on top of the scallops, ensuring they are well covered.

Step 8

Pour the white wine into the bottom of the ramekins or baking dish to keep the scallops moist while baking.

Step 9

Bake the scallops in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden, and the scallops are opaque and cooked through.

Step 10

Allow the dish to cool for 2-3 minutes and serve immediately with a wedge of lemon or fresh parsley as garnish.
