Lemon-Garlic Baked Scallops Recipe Idea

 

Lemon-Garlic Baked Scallops 

Makes 1 serving 

Ingredients:

7 oz scallops 

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

1 packet True Lemon or Lime

1 Tbsp water

1 tsp water

Additional Notes to Ingredient List:

A 16-oz bag of frozen raw scallops will produce 7 oz cooked scallops. Be sure to weight your scallops after cooking and set aside a 7 oz cooked portion.

Directions:

Defrost scallops overnight in the refrigerator.

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Dissolve the packet of True Lemon in 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp of warm water in a small bowl or ramekin. 

Pour into a resealable plastic gallon-sized bag.

Add olive oil and garlic powder to the lemon mixture. 

Seal and shake until combined.

Take the scallops, rinse if necessary, and thoroughly pat dry. 

Add them to the lemon mixture in the resealable bag, and shake to coat the scallops.

Remove the scallops and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet. 

Place the baking sheet in the oven for about 10 minutes checking to see when the bottoms begin to brown. 

Once brown, flip the scallops to the other side and bake for approximately 10 additional minutes until the other side is lightly browned.
