1
Prepare the Marinade
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2
Marinate the Scallops
Add the scallops to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

3
Heat the Grill or Frying Pan
If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If frying, heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil.
4
Cook the Scallops
Remove scallops from marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. For grilling, place scallops directly on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and opaque. For frying, place scallops in the heated frying pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and opaque.
5
Prepare the Garnish
While the scallops are cooking, cut the lemon into wedges and chop the fresh parsley.

6
Plate the Scallops
Once cooked, remove the scallops from the grill or pan and place them on a serving plate. Garnish with lemon wedges and sprinkle chopped parsley on top before serving.
