Ingredients
- 1 lb large sea scallops patted dry
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ½ cup white wine dry, like Sauvignon Blanc
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
- ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
- Lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
- Season scallops with salt and pepper, then heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
- Place scallops in a single layer without overcrowding. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Lower the heat, then sauté butter and garlic for 1 minute. Add white wine and lemon juice, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Return scallops to the skillet, spoon sauce over them, and cook for 1–2 more minutes. Finish with lemon zest, fresh parsley, and lemon slices.
