Baked Scallops
Description
The Baked Scallops recipe features fresh sea scallops arranged in a single layer and coated with a mixture of melted butter, olive oil, and seasonings including salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. The combination of Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs creates a textured topping that crisps nicely in the oven. Baking at 400°F for 10–15 minutes cooks the scallops through while forming a golden crust on top. An optional spritz of cooking oil near the end of baking can enhance the panko's crispiness. A finishing touch of lemon juice cuts through the buttery richness, balancing the flavors.
The result is a dish showcasing tender, juicy scallops with a crunchy, flavorful topping. It provides a simple way to prepare scallops for a delicious seafood starter or a light entrée. The recipe’s browning step and seasoning ensure a pleasant contrast in taste and texture.
Serving the scallops immediately after baking preserves their texture and warmth. The lemon wedges add acidity and freshness to the rich seafood and cheese topping. This recipe suits those who appreciate straightforward seafood preparations with a crisp finish.

- 2-3 tbsp butter melted, unsalted
- 1/2 tsp salt

- Grate parmesan on top of the scallops and top it off with a layer of panko.
