Honey Mustard Scallops

It's Complicated  Main Dish  Oven  Refrigerator  Shellfish 

• Cooking Time: 15 to 20
• 1 lb. scallops
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp. butter
• 1/2 cup whole grain mustard (stone ground mustard)
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup white wine or fish stock
• 1/4 cup bread crumbs

Mix honey, garlic, mustard, and parsley in a mixing bowl.

Add salt and pepper to taste and toss scallops in the mixture.

Let marinate, refridgerated, for one hour.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Spoon scallops into a large casserole dish or into individual casseroles for single servings.

Add wine, top with crumbs, and dot with butter. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until scallops are firm.

Sea scallops are one of my favorite dishes to prepare, and they look impressive with very little work. Get them fresh if you can, but frozen scallops will be fine, as long as you thaw them well before marinating. If you can't find sea scallops, you can substitute bay scallops. You should be able to find stone ground mustard in your market, but if not you may use a good quality dijon. However, the grainy mustard is what really gives this recipe kick! This dish is fantastic with my Strawberry Spinach Salad as an accompaniment.
