Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Scallops

    Add the diver scallops to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until hot.

  2. 4

    Sear the Scallops

    Remove the scallops from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the scallops in the hot pan in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and opaque in the center. Do not overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Scallops

    Transfer the seared scallops to a serving plate. Garnish with lemon wedges and additional chopped parsley.

  2. 6

    Serve Immediately

    Serve the diver scallops warm, accompanied by your choice of side dishes.
