Baked scallops

The wife of my husband's uncle is a great cook, every time we are invited over I simply savor every meal she prepares. We start by guessing what will be the menu 2 days before the invitation. This Sunday, we had this recipe as an appetizer, baked scallops topped with bread crumbs and chopped parsley. We all loved this dish, and of course I could not wait to prepare it the next week. What I love about this recipe is it's so easy to make and it cooks up so quickly. A great idea for a simple quick & tasty dinner!!

Ingredients (serves 6): 2 lbs (900g) scallops rinsed and drained - salt - 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted - 1/2 cup bread crumbs - 2 to 3 tbsp chopped parsley - 2 garlic cloves crushed - 3 tbsp olive oil - salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Place scallops, metled butter and garlic in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine. Transfer to a baking dish. Combine bread crumbs, parsley and olive oil in a bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over the scallops and bake in the oven until scallops are firm and crumbs are brown, about 15 minutes.
