How to cook deliciously - Seared Scallops

1. Stage

In a shallow bowl, toss the bread crumbs with the salt. Dip the scallops in the crumb mixture to coat both flat sides, patting them gently to help the coating adhere.

2. Stage

In a large skillet, heat the butter and oil over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and cook them for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes on each side, or until they're just firm and opaque. Remove the scallops from the pan and keep them warm. Editor's Tip: Give the pan a swirl as the butter starts to foam and splatter. It helps the water in the butter to evaporate more steadily and minimizes the amount of hot fat that jumps from the pan. Add the scallops to the preheated pan once the oil shimmers, leaving space around each, and err on the side of slightly undercooked.

3. Stage

To the same hot pan, add the wine, lemon juice and garlic, and then bring the liquids to a boil. Stir in the parsley. Drizzle the sauce over the scallops and serve them immediately.
