How to Make Baked Clams
- Preheat your broiler to high.
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, gently combine the drained canned clams and lemon juice.
- Arrange the empty clam shells (if using) on a baking sheet. If using, create a thin bed of rock salt to stabilize the shells.
- Divide the chopped clam mixture evenly among the clam shells.
- Top each clam with a generous spoonful of the bread crumb mixture.
- Drizzle melted butter over the bread crumb topping.
- Place the baking sheet under the preheated broiler. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and serve immediately.
