BUTTERY SCALLOPS WITH LEMON AND HERBS



Buttery Scallops With Lemon and Herbs image

Simple and very speedy, this dish shows off the sweetness and delicacy of fresh sea scallops, seasoned with only lemon, garlic, herbs and a sprinkle of red-pepper flakes. A little butter gives it a touch of richness, while the grated lemon zest adds brightness and a jolt of acid. You can serve this with a big green salad for a light meal, or over buttered noodles or mashed potatoes for something more substantial.

Categories     quick, seafood, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds sea scallops, patted dry
Salt and black pepper
4 to 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced thyme leaves
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for garnish
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
1/2 cup chopped soft herbs (such as basil, chives, mint or cilantro), for garnish

Steps:

  • Season scallops lightly on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large, preferably nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add 3 tablespoons butter and let melt. Place seasoned scallops in the pan in a single layer without touching. (Do this in batches if necessary, using another tablespoon of butter if needed for the second batch.) Cook without moving until bottoms are golden brown, 3 minutes.
  • Flip the scallops and add another tablespoon of butter to the pan. Stir in garlic and thyme, and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute longer.
  • If you took any of the scallops out of the pan to cook them in batches, put them back in now. Pour lemon juice on top of all the scallops, sprinkle with the lemon zest, and toss everything gently to combine.
  • Transfer scallops to serving plates and sprinkle red-pepper flakes on top. Garnish with chopped soft herbs and lemon wedges, and serve immediately.

BAKED SCALLOPS WITH HERBED BREADCRUMB TOPPING



Baked Scallops with Herbed Breadcrumb Topping image

Categories     Herb     Bake     Quick & Easy     Scallop     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 2 servings; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
12 ounces bay scallops
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs made from crustless French bread
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Melt butter in heavy medium skillet. Brush 10-inch-diameter glass pie dish with some of butter. Place scallops in single layer in prepared dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add breadcrumbs and garlic to remaining butter in skillet. Stir over medium heat until crumbs are crisp, about 5 minutes. Mix in parsley and tarragon. Top scallops with crumb mixture.
  • Bake scallops until topping is golden and scallops are opaque in center, about 10 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Select high-quality scallops: Choose large, dry scallops with no signs of damage or discoloration. Dry scallops have been treated with a saltwater solution to remove moisture, resulting in a firmer texture and more concentrated flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, parsley, and chives provide a vibrant flavor to the dish. If using dried herbs, reduce the amount by half.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Make sure there is enough space between the scallops so that they can cook evenly. Overcrowding the dish will result in steamed scallops rather than baked scallops.
  • Cook the scallops until they are just opaque: Overcooking will make the scallops tough and rubbery. The ideal internal temperature for scallops is 135°F (57°C).
  • Serve immediately: Baked scallops are best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish them with additional herbs, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of melted butter.

Conclusion:

Herbed baked scallops are a delicious and elegant seafood dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your friends and family.
