With a zesty lemon butter sauce, the scallops were cooked to perfection in the air fryer and were very tender. This recipe is quick and easy, and it's great for a dinner during the week or for a special event.
Ingredients: 1 lb fresh scallops. 2 tablespoons butter, melted. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tablespoon lemon juice. 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Salt and pepper to taste. Chopped parsley for garnish.
Instructions: Preheat the air fryer to 400F 200C. Pat the scallops dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Brush the scallops with the lemon butter mixture, coating them evenly. Place the scallops in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, or until the scallops are opaque and slightly browned, flipping halfway through cooking. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley. Enjoy!
