Ingredients
- 1 pound Sea scallops
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1.5 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Pat the scallops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter has melted and starts to foam.
Step 3
Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until a golden crust forms, then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove scallops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 4
Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to slightly reduce the liquid.
Step 6
Stir in the lemon zest and parsley, then return the scallops to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the scallops and cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Step 7
Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
