Fresh, lemony scallops with a buttery topping and a bit of crunch.
Ingredients
-
1 lb. sea scallops
-
sea salt & pepper
-
4 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
-
2 small or 1 large clove garlic, pressed
-
1 tsp. fresh chives, chopped
-
juice of ½ lemon
-
¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
-
¼ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, finely grated
-
1 tbsp. Gustare Italian Lemon Olive Oil
-
pinch of red pepper flakes
-
zest of 1 lemon
Directions
Preheat oven to 425°
Rinse, pat dry the scallops and cut off small side muscle (the “foot”) with kitchen scissors or paring knife. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Place in a baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, chives, and lemon juice. Pour all over the scallops.
In a second small bowl, combine panko, Parmesan-Reggiano, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest. Sprinkle on top of each scallop, as much or little as you like.
Bake until just golden and scallops are opaque on the outside and a bit translucent inside, approximately 12-15 minutes.
Spoon a little of the pan’s sauce over tops of scallops and serve. Enjoy!
