How to Make Low Fat Oven Fried Scallops

  1. Rinse 1 pound of scallops under cold water and gently pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 large egg whites (or 1/4 cup egg substitute).
  3. In a separate shallow dish, place 1 cup of panko bread crumbs.
  4. Dip each scallop into the egg whites, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Dredge the egg-coated scallops in the panko bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Lightly coat a 9x13 inch baking pan with olive oil cooking spray.
  7. Arrange the breaded scallops in a single layer in the prepared pan.
  8. Lightly spray the tops of the scallops with olive oil cooking spray.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 500°F (260°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the scallops are opaque and golden brown.
  10. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley.
  11. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over the scallops.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
