Rinse the sea scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Prepare the Scallops

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until melted and hot.

Melt the Butter

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. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Sear the Scallops

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add lemon juice and chopped parsley, stirring to combine.

Make the Sauce

Return the scallops to the skillet and toss gently in the sauce to coat. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.

Finish the Dish

Serve the scallops immediately, garnished with lemon wedges and extra parsley. Enjoy!
