Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish with 1 tablespoon oil. Pat scallops dry; arrange in a single layer in the dish. Sprinkle the scallops evenly with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Whisk melted butter, lemon juice and shallot in a small bowl; pour over the scallops.

Step 3

In the same bowl, combine panko, Parmesan, parsley and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the scallops.

Step 4

Bake until the scallops are opaque and the topping is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot.
