olive oil spray
16 large sea scallops (a pound)
1/4 cup panko crumbs
1 1/2 T grated parmesan
1 T fresh minced parsley
1/4 tea dried oregano
1/4 tea K salt, divided
fresh black pepper to taste
juice of 1 lemon divided
2 1/2 T melted butter
1 T white wine (still good without it if none available)
- preheat oven to 400 and lightly spray 8 x10 inch oval baking dish or 2 qt gratin dish with olive oil spray
- Pat the scallops dry and then spritz them with a little oil, season with 1/8 tea salt
- In a small bowl combine the panko, parmesan, parsley, oregano, 1/8 tea salt and black pepper to taste
- Arrange the scallops in a single layer in the prepared dish. Top with the crumb mixture.
- Whisk half of the lemon juice with butter and wine together and pour over scallops
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the scallops are opaque.
- Set oven broil high (second rack from top) till topping is golden. Just 2-3 minutes. (I skipped this step and still delicious)
- Squeeze remaining lemon juice and eat immediately
