Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Finely chop the garlic and parsley, then set aside.
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.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and place them in oven-safe ramekins or a shallow baking dish. Avoid overcrowding.
Drizzle the garlic butter mixture evenly over the scallops.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture generously on top of the scallops, ensuring they are well covered.
Pour the white wine into the bottom of the ramekins or baking dish to keep the scallops moist while baking.
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.
Allow the dish to cool for 2-3 minutes and serve immediately with a wedge of lemon or fresh parsley as garnish.
