Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Scallops

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

  2. 2

    Soak Birch Wood Chips

    Soak the birch wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning too quickly.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, add the soaked birch wood chips to the coals.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Mix well.

  5. 5

    Marinate the Scallops

    Brush the scallops with the marinade and let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  6. 6

    Grill the Scallops

    Place the scallops directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and have grill marks.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the scallops from the grill and drizzle with any remaining marinade. Serve immediately.
