Directions
- Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish. - Prepare the scallops
Pat scallops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season lightly with salt and black pepper. - Make the garlic butter mixture
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth. - Assemble the scallops
Place scallops in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the garlic butter mixture evenly over them. - Add the topping
In another small bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and chopped parsley. Sprinkle evenly over the scallops. - Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until scallops are opaque and the topping is golden brown. Avoid overbaking, as scallops cook quickly and can become rubbery. - Serve
Garnish with extra parsley and serve hot with lemon wedges. Optional: serve alongside crusty bread to soak up the garlic butter sauce.
