Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
- Season scallops with salt, pepper, and low sodium seafood seasoning in a bowl. Place scallops in prepared baking dish and sprinkle with olive oil and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.

- Return scallops to oven and continue baking until scallops are opaque and sauce has formed a glaze over the scallops, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:
- 1. In a small bowl, whisk together the first 5 ingredients; set aside.
- 2. Pat scallops dry with paper towels then heat 1 Tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook scallops in a single layer, flipping once, until golden brown and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. (work in batches, if necessary, adding the remaining 1 Tablespoon oil when needed).
- 3. Transfer scallops to a large plate as done. Reduce heat to medium-low and allow skillet to cool off a bit, then carefully add tamari honey mixture to skillet and simmer briefly until reduced to a glaze. Return scallops to skillet and toss well to cost evenly. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality scallops. Fresh scallops should have a sweet, briny smell and be firm to the touch. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong odor.
- Pat the scallops dry before cooking. This will help them to sear evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Season the scallops generously. Scallops have a mild flavor, so it's important to season them well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
- Cook the scallops over high heat. This will help them to sear quickly and prevent them from overcooking.
- Do not overcrowd the scallops in the pan. If the scallops are too crowded, they will not cook evenly.
- Cook the scallops until they are just cooked through. Scallops are very delicate and can easily overcook. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they are opaque and firm.
- Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can garnish them with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Conclusion:
Honey glazed scallops are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With their sweet and savory flavor, honey glazed scallops are sure to please everyone at the table.
