Steps:
- 1. If you want a great sauce that fits this recipe to a tea, then check out my Hearts of Palm sauce recipe... I got it from a German chef who lived on Grand Cayman Island.
- 2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), and place the rack in the middle position.
- 3. Melt the butter in a small butter warmer, small saucepan, or you could always nuke it in the microwave. Chef's Note: We all use the microwave for a variety of purposes; however, when you use it to melt butter, slow is the way to go... a low setting for about 3 minutes.
- 4. Pour the melted butter into a casserole dish; something around two quarts is perfect. Chef's Note: Since you will be using this dish for presentation, if you have something nice... use it.
- 5. Place the scallops in the dish, and evenly distribute them in rows and columns over the butter.
- 6. Take the breadcrumbs, onion powder, paprika, oregano, minced garlic and parmesan cheese, and combine in a small mixing bowl. Chef's Note: You best tools for doing this are your hands... that way you can break up any lumps.
- 7. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the scallops.
- 8. Bake until scallops are firm; or until an instant-read thermometer reads 146f (64c) this will take about twenty minutes.
- 9. How to Tell if a Scallop is Fresh Look: A good scallop will be cream colored or light beige. Scallops that are tinged with pink are too old and should be avoided. Moisture: Good scallops will be relatively dry. Scallops sitting in liquid are past their prime. Avoid Scallops that are sitting in a milky liquid. Smell: Fresh scallops have a slightly sweet aroma. Bad scallops smell like sulfur or ammonia. Touch: A fresh scallop will be firm to the touch. Scallops too old to eat are soft and slimy.
- 10. Chef's Note: Microwaving a scallop can cause it to explode... I HATE it when that happens.

Steps:
- Toss scallops with melted butter, garlic, shallots, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Transfer to shallow casserole dish. Combine extra-virgin olive oil and bread crumbs. Scatter bread crumbs over scallops and place in the casserole. Bake 10 - 12 minutes or until bread crumbs are golden and scallops are opaque. Sprinkle with chopped parsley & serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh sea scallops. Fresh scallops have a sweet, delicate flavor that is perfect for baking. Avoid using frozen scallops, as they can be tough and rubbery.
- Pat the scallops dry before baking. This will help them to brown evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Season the scallops simply. A little bit of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is all you need to enhance the natural flavor of the scallops.
- Bake the scallops at a high temperature. This will help them to cook quickly and evenly.
- Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best enjoyed when they are hot and juicy.
