Lemon Garlic Scallops with Roasted Vegetables
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound of sea scallops
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 pound of mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes)
- 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the mixed vegetables with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly charred.
- While the vegetables are roasting, pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the scallops in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and opaque. Remove the scallops from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and dried oregano, and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Return the scallops to the skillet and toss to coat them in the lemon garlic sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the scallops are heated through.
- Serve the lemon garlic scallops with the roasted vegetables, garnished with fresh parsley. Enjoy!
