1
Pat scallops dry
Use paper towels to thoroughly pat the scallops dry. This ensures a good sear when cooking.
2
Season scallops
Season the scallops with salt and black pepper on both sides.
3
Heat pan
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4
Sear scallops
Place scallops in the hot pan, making sure not to overcrowd. Sear for 1.5 to 2 minutes per side until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
5
Make sauce
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic to the pan. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add lemon juice.
6
Combine and garnish
Return the scallops to the pan to coat with the sauce. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
