Steps:
- 1. If you want a great sauce that fits this recipe to a tea, then check out my Hearts of Palm sauce recipe... I got it from a German chef who lived on Grand Cayman Island.
- 2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), and place the rack in the middle position.
- 3. Melt the butter in a small butter warmer, small saucepan, or you could always nuke it in the microwave. Chef's Note: We all use the microwave for a variety of purposes; however, when you use it to melt butter, slow is the way to go... a low setting for about 3 minutes.
- 4. Pour the melted butter into a casserole dish; something around two quarts is perfect. Chef's Note: Since you will be using this dish for presentation, if you have something nice... use it.
- 5. Place the scallops in the dish, and evenly distribute them in rows and columns over the butter.
- 6. Take the breadcrumbs, onion powder, paprika, oregano, minced garlic and parmesan cheese, and combine in a small mixing bowl. Chef's Note: You best tools for doing this are your hands... that way you can break up any lumps.
- 7. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the scallops.
- 8. Bake until scallops are firm; or until an instant-read thermometer reads 146f (64c) this will take about twenty minutes.
- 9. How to Tell if a Scallop is Fresh Look: A good scallop will be cream colored or light beige. Scallops that are tinged with pink are too old and should be avoided. Moisture: Good scallops will be relatively dry. Scallops sitting in liquid are past their prime. Avoid Scallops that are sitting in a milky liquid. Smell: Fresh scallops have a slightly sweet aroma. Bad scallops smell like sulfur or ammonia. Touch: A fresh scallop will be firm to the touch. Scallops too old to eat are soft and slimy.
- 10. Chef's Note: Microwaving a scallop can cause it to explode... I HATE it when that happens.

Tips:
- Select high-quality scallops. Fresh, dry scallops are the best choice for baking. Avoid scallops that are wet or slimy.
- Clean the scallops properly. Rinse the scallops under cold water and remove the side muscle using a paring knife. Make sure to remove all sand and grit.
- Pat the scallops dry. Use a paper towel to pat the scallops dry before cooking. This will help them sear better.
- Season the scallops simply. Salt and pepper are all you need to season the scallops. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of herbs.
- Use a hot oven. Preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible before baking the scallops. This will help them sear quickly and evenly.
- Cook the scallops for a short time. Scallops only need to be cooked for a few minutes per side. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
- Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can garnish them with lemon wedges, herbs, or a sauce of your choice.
Conclusion:
Baked scallops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or main course. By following these tips, you can ensure that your baked scallops are cooked to perfection.
