How to Make Baked Scallops With Garlic Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Pat scallops dry with paper towels.
  3. Mince 4 cloves of garlic. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a baking dish, pour 2 tablespoons of the garlic butter sauce.
  5. Add 8 ounces of sliced cremini mushrooms to the baking dish and season with 1/2 teaspoon onion salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Arrange 1 pound of scallops on top of the mushrooms.
  7. Drizzle the remaining garlic butter sauce over the scallops.
  8. Sprinkle 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon of reserved garlic butter sauce over the scallops.
  9. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the scallops are opaque and the breadcrumbs are golden brown and bubbly.
  10. Let rest for 2 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
