GARLIC BUTTER BAKED SCALLOPS

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
Assemble the Scallops: Arrange the scallops in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the scallops, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
Add the Topping: In another small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the scallops.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the scallops are opaque and the breadcrumb topping turns golden brown.
Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the baked scallops hot, accompanied by lemon wedges.
