Ingredients
Instructions
Prep the scallops. Pat your scallops dry with a paper towel and sprinkle them with kosher salt.
Sear the scallops. Heat the oil in a sauté pan over medium high heat. When the oil is shimmering, place your scallops in the pan and sear for approximately 1 ½ to 2 minutes on each side, until they have a golden crust. Remove the scallops to a plate, and repeat with remaining scallops.
Make the sauce. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter, minced garlic, lemon zest and juice, and parsley to the pan. Whisk the sauce together in the pan until it's lightly simmering, then add the scallops back to the pan and spoon the sauce on top.
Serve. Plate your scallops, then drizzle more sauce on top before serving.
