Ingredients

• 1 pound sea scallops
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves
• 0.25 cup dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.

Step 3

Once the butter has melted and begins to bubble, carefully place the scallops into the skillet in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch.

Step 4

Sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes on each side without moving them, until a golden-brown crust forms. Remove the scallops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet.

Step 6

Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant (do not let them burn).

Step 7

Deglaze the pan with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, and let it reduce slightly for about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in the lemon juice and fresh parsley, then remove the skillet from heat.

Step 9

Return the scallops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them to warm them back up, about 1 minute.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired. Pair with a side of rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
