A delightful dish of baked scallops with a crispy herb crust, perfect for a special dinner.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter with minced garlic and white wine by microwaving for about 30 seconds.
Microwaving the butter mixture saves time and infuses the garlic flavor.
Arrange the scallops in an oven-proof baking dish and pour the melted butter mixture over them.
Ensure the scallops are evenly spaced for uniform cooking.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the scallops.
Use panko breadcrumbs for a crispier texture.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the scallops.
Fresh lemon juice enhances the flavor of the scallops.
Bake the scallops in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until the topping is golden and the scallops are cooked through.
Avoid overcooking to keep the scallops tender.
Serve the scallops hot with additional lemon wedges on the side.
Pair with a crisp salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
