Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Scallops

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

  2. 2

    Melt the Butter

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

Cooking

  1. 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. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Make the Sauce

    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.

  3. 5

    Finish the Dish

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