Baked Scallops are incredibly simple to make and taste like pure heaven. These buttery scallops are dipped in a mixture of butter and garlic first and then baked in Panko and Parmesan coating. It takes less than 30 minutes and a perfect dish for a special night or any time you want to treat yourself.
