1
Prepare the Scallops
Pat the scallops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. 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 it shimmers.
3
Sear the Scallops
Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
4
Add Lemon Juice
Once the scallops are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
5
Serve
Serve immediately while hot, optionally with additional lemon wedges on the side.
