Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb sea scallops, patted dry
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil or butter (for pan-frying)
- Lemon wedges and chopped parsley, for serving
Instructions
- Season scallops with salt and pepper.
- Prepare three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with panko mixed with Parmesan, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Dredge each scallop in flour, then dip in egg, then coat in the panko mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add scallops and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve with lemon wedges and parsley garnish.
Notes
- Do not overcook scallops—they should be just opaque in the center.
- Use dry-packed scallops for best searing and texture.
- Can also be baked at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway.
