Best Recipe for Honey Glazed Scallops

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds large sea scallops, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon low sodium seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay® 30% Less Sodium Seasoning)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon margarine
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  2. Season scallops with salt, pepper, and low sodium seafood seasoning in a bowl. Place scallops in prepared baking dish and sprinkle with olive oil and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  3. Bake in preheated oven until scallops are hot and beginning to turn opaque, about 15 minutes.
  4. Combine margarine, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, honey, shallot, and garlic in a small saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens and the shallot has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
  5. Remove scallops from oven and use tongs to turn each scallop over in the baking dish. Sprinkle the hot lemon-honey sauce evenly over the scallops.
  6. Return scallops to oven and continue baking until scallops are opaque and sauce has formed a glaze over the scallops, 15 to 20 minutes.
