Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon butter, melted
kosher salt
2 tablespoons finely grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon lemon zest
ground black pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 cups bay scallops, cleaned (about 16 ounces)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the panko, butter, a pinch of salt and the Parmesan. In another small bowl, combine the thyme, garlic, lemon zest, a large pinch of pepper and the cream.
  • Divide the bay scallops between two individual gratin dishes. Pour half the cream mixture over each dish, then sprinkle each evenly with the panko mix. At this point, the scallops can be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 24 hours or baked immediately. (Note: I think I'd wait to sprinkle on the panko mix until just before baking - I think it will get soggy otherwise),.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the gratin dishes on a baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cream is bubbling all over and the crumbs are browned.

Categories     High Protein

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 1/2 lbs bay scallops, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup seasoned dry bread crumb
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Pour melted butter into a 2 quart oval casserole dish.
  • Distribute butter and scallops evenly inside the dish.
  • Combine the bread crumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, parsley, minced garlic and Parmesan cheese.
  • Sprinkle this mixture over the scallops.
  • Bake in pre-heated oven until scallops are firm, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh bay scallops. Fresh scallops have a briny, sweet flavor that is perfect for baking. If you can't find fresh scallops, frozen scallops can be used as well. Just be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Season the scallops well. Bay scallops are a mild-flavored seafood, so it's important to season them well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to bring out their flavor.
  • Don't overcook the scallops. Bay scallops cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Overcooked scallops become tough and rubbery. Cook them for just a few minutes, until they are opaque and cooked through.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. Baked bay scallops are best served immediately, while they are still hot and juicy. You can serve them with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Baked bay scallops are a quick and easy seafood dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. They are also a great appetizer for a party or special occasion. With their briny, sweet flavor and tender texture, bay scallops are a delicious and versatile seafood that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways.
