Steps:

• Mix Panko bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese in another shallow bowl and set it aside.
• Take scallops out of the package and pat each one dry with a paper towel.
• Toss scallops in the melted butter mixture and then coat each one in Panko/Parmesan mixture on all sides.
• Place coated scallops in a baking dish that's large enough to hold them with some space in between each one.
• Carefully pour in remaining melted butter in between and around the scallops. (Don't pour on top.)
• Sprinkle each scallop with some Parmesan cheese and bake for 10-14 minutes, depending on the size.

SEARED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Remove the small side muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry.
• Add the butter and oil to a 12 to 14-inch saute pan on high heat. Salt and pepper the scallops. Once the fat begins to smoke, gently add the scallops, making sure they are not touching each other. Sear the scallops for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. The scallops should have a 1/4-inch golden crust on each side while still being translucent in the center. Serve immediately.
