Ingredients
Instructions
In a small bowl, mash together the butter, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, and parsley. (The lemon juice may not fully incorporate, which is fine.) Set aside.
Pat the scallops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, until shimmering. Keep the garlic herb butter nearby.
Add the scallops in a single layer, without touching. Sear, without moving, for 2-3 minutes, until a crust forms on the bottom.
Flip the scallops and immediately add the garlic herb butter to the pan around the scallops in pieces. Sear the scallops for 2-3 more minutes, basting them with the butter occasionally, until a crust forms on the other side and scallops are cooked through.
