How to Make Baked Scallops In Honey And Butter

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F (240°C).
  2. Pat 1 pound of large sea scallops dry with paper towels. Cut larger scallops in half or quarters if needed.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of honey until combined. Set aside.
  4. In a shallow dish, combine ½ cup breadcrumbs (panko recommended) with a pinch of salt and pepper. Roll each scallop in the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly.
  5. Grease 4-6 individual ramekins or small baking dishes.
  6. Divide the breaded scallops equally among the prepared ramekins.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the honey-butter mixture. Drizzle evenly over the scallops in each ramekin.
  8. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the scallops are opaque and cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
  9. Garnish with chopped scallions before serving.
