Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Sea scallops
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 cups Whole wheat bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse the sea scallops under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season the scallops with salt and pepper.
Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley finely.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. When hot, add the scallops and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and just opaque in the center, then transfer them to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Add the whole wheat bread crumbs to the skillet and toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until they are golden and crunchy.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, Parmesan cheese, and lemon zest. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Spoon the garlic bread crumb mixture over the cooked scallops evenly.
Serve the scallops immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing. Enjoy!
