1
Prepare the Scallops
Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
2
Sear the Scallops
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the scallops and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque. Remove scallops from the skillet and set aside.
3
Make the Lemon Butter Sauce
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in the lemon juice and cook for another minute.
4
Combine and Serve
Return the scallops to the skillet to warm them up briefly in the sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
