Ingredients
- 12 large Sea scallops
- 6 slices Bacon
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Pat the sea scallops dry with a paper towel. Lightly season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Cut each slice of bacon in half, making 12 shorter pieces. Wrap each scallop with a piece of bacon, securing it with a toothpick. Arrange the bacon-wrapped scallops on the prepared baking sheet with the seam side down.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, garlic powder, and olive oil to make a glaze. Brush the glaze generously over the top of each bacon-wrapped scallop.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bacon is fully cooked and crisp and the scallops are opaque and tender.
Step 6
Remove the scallops from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes. Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
Step 7
Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately. These scallops pair beautifully with a crisp white wine or a simple green salad.
