Share:
Ingredients
- 1 pound sea scallops preferably dry scallops
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
- 2 tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped (optional, fresh
Instructions
Preheat the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
Prep the Scallops
- Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
- Toss the scallops with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl to evenly coat them.
Cook the Scallops
- Arrange the scallops in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t touch.
- Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the scallops are golden brown on the outside and opaque in the center.
Make the Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce
- While the scallops are cooking, whisk together the melted butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl. If desired, add fresh parsley.
- Serve
- Once the scallops are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and drizzle the lemon garlic butter sauce over them.
- Garnish with extra lemon zest and parsley for a pop of color, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Serve these scallops over a bed of rice, pasta, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the lemon garlic butter sauce if you like heat.
- These air fryer scallops are light, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The lemon garlic butter adds a tangy richness that complements the scallops’ natural sweetness, making this dish an easy yet impressive meal to serve.
