A delightful baked scallops recipe with a crispy herb crust, perfect for a quick and flavorful dinner.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Melt the butter and pour it into a 2-quart casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the dish.
Arrange the scallops in a single layer in the dish.
Pat the scallops dry before placing them to remove excess moisture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, parsley, minced garlic, and Parmesan cheese.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the scallops.
Press lightly to help the mixture adhere to the scallops.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the scallops are firm and the topping is golden brown.
Keep an eye on the topping to prevent burning.
Serve the baked scallops hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the crispy texture.
