1
Prepare the scallops
Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
2
Heat the oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3
Sauté garlic
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4
Cook the scallops
Place the scallops in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side without moving them, until they are golden brown. Flip the scallops and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until cooked through.
5
Add lemon and parsley
Remove the skillet from heat, add lemon juice and fresh parsley, and toss gently to combine.
6
Serve
Plate the scallops and drizzle with any remaining pan juices. Serve warm.
