Garlic Butter Baked Scallops

Big sea scallops topped with breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and baked in butter and garlic until perfectly tender. A winner every time.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb big sea scallops
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°. Combine the breadcrumbs, onion powder, paprika, parsley and cheese together in a large bowl.
  2. Add the scallops to the breadcrumb mixture and toss to coat. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. When it’s completely melted, add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Pour the melted garlic butter in a glass casserole dish and place the scallops on top, pouring all the remaining breadcrumbs on top. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Serve immediately with tartar sauce if desired.

Notes

Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch. Ensure scallops are patted dry before coating for better adhesion. Bake until cooked but still slightly springy in the center.
