Ingredients
Directions
- Melt one third of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Remove the small side muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Working in batches, add scallops to the skillet in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until golden brown and translucent in the center, about 1-2 minutes per side. Set aside and keep warm while preparing the rest.
- To make the lemon butter sauce, melt the rest of the butter in a small saucepan. Stir in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve scallops immediately with lemon butter sauce, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
