SAUTEED BAY SCALLOPS WITH LEMON BUTTER

Steps:

• Choose a saute pan large enough to hold all of the scallops in one layer without overcrowding the pan or without them touching each other. Cook in batches if necessary. Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter until nearly smoking. Add the scallops and do not move or shake pan, but allow the scallops to brown well on one side before tossing the pan to flip them or gently turning them with a spatula to cook the second side.
• Remove the scallops from the pan and place on a warm serving platter. Return the pan in which the scallops had been cooked to the fire, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sweet butter, and cook until the butter begins to turn a light brown color. When the butter has browned to a hazelnut color add the lemon juice and chopped parsley.
• Pour the classic lemon butter over the scallops, garnish with heart-shaped croutons and serve promptly.

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.
