Baked Bay Scallops Recipes

BAKED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coat bottom of a 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together creme fraiche, wine, and lemon zest; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add scallops, tossing to coat.
• In a small bowl, mix together panko, Parmesan, garlic, chile, and remaining 1/4 cup butter. Add scallops to prepared dish, then pour creme fraiche mixture evenly over top. Top with panko mixture and a few grinds of pepper.

BAKED BAY SCALLOPS WITH LEMON GARLIC CREAM

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the panko, butter, a pinch of salt and the Parmesan. In another small bowl, combine the thyme, garlic, lemon zest, a large pinch of pepper and the cream.
• Divide the bay scallops between two individual gratin dishes. Pour half the cream mixture over each dish, then sprinkle each evenly with the panko mix. At this point, the scallops can be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 24 hours or baked immediately. (Note: I think I'd wait to sprinkle on the panko mix until just before baking - I think it will get soggy otherwise),.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the gratin dishes on a baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cream is bubbling all over and the crumbs are browned.

BAY SCALLOP GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place 6 (6-inch round) gratin dishes on a sheet pan.
• To make the topping, place the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (you can also use a hand mixer). With the mixer on low speed, add the garlic, shallot, prosciutto, parsley, lemon juice, Pernod, salt, and pepper and mix until combined. With the mixer still on low, add the olive oil slowly as though making mayonnaise, until combined. Fold the panko in with a rubber spatula and set aside.
• Preheat the broiler, if it's separate from your oven.
• Place 1 tablespoon of the wine in the bottom of each gratin dish. With a small sharp knife, remove the white muscle and membrane from the side of each scallop and discard. Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and distribute them among the 3 dishes. Spoon the garlic butter evenly over the top of the scallops. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the topping is golden and sizzling and the scallops are barely done. If you want the top crustier, place the dishes under the broiler for 2 minutes, until browned. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkling of chopped parsley and serve immediately with crusty French bread.
