  • 1 cup California Walnuts
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt more or less to taste (I used 1/2 teaspoon)

  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice plus more for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and spray a 9x9 round non stick baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Place walnuts, parmesan, oregano, basil, onion powder, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper into a food processor.
  • Pulse together until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Set aside.
  • Dry thawed scallops gently and thoroughly with paper towels.
  • Season dried scallops on both sides with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
