A quick and impressive dinner, scallops turn succulent and tender in the air fryer. The lemon-herb sauce is the perfect way to bring zest to each bite. Be sure to cook the scallops to temperature. They may not brown in the fryer, so don't wait for a golden crust to tell you they're ready.

Ingredients

½ tsp. finely chopped garlic
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
2 tsp. capers, very finely chopped
2 tbsp. very finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
Cooking spray
⅛ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. ground pepper
8 large (1-oz.) sea scallops, cleaned and patted very dry

Method

01

Sprinkle scallops with pepper and salt. Coat the basket of an air fryer with cooking spray. Place scallops in the basket and coat them with cooking spray. Place the basket in the fryer. Cook the scallops at 400°F until they reach an internal temperature of 120°F, about 6 minutes.
02

Combine oil, parsley, capers, lemon zest and garlic in a small bowl. Drizzle over the scallops.
