Ingredients

1/2 pound scallops
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons butter divided
1/4 cup parsley finely chopped
1/2 small lemon sliced

Instructions

Pat dry the scallops to remove excess moisture, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brush one tablespoon of butter over them.
Generously grease an air fryer basket with cooking spray and add a single layer of scallops.
Air fry at 200C/400F for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through. Scallops are cooked once slightly golden and firm to touch.
Remove them from the air fryer basket, and brush more butter. Sprinkle with finely chopped parsley and serve with fresh lemon juice.
