Living in Kansas, fresh seafood can be hard to come by. Luckily, frozen scallops aren't. This dish offers coastal flavor to those of us in the Midwest.

Ingredients

• 1/2 to 3/4 pound sea scallops
• 3 tablespoons butter, divided
• 3/4 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley or 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh chives or 1/2 teaspoon dried chives
• 1/4 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon or 1/8 teaspoon dried tarragon
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
• dash pepper
• 2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place scallops in a greased 1-qt. baking dish. Mix 2 tablespoons melted butter, lemon juice, herbs, garlic salt and pepper; drizzle over scallops.
2. Mix bread crumbs with remaining melted butter; sprinkle over top. Bake, uncovered, until scallops are firm and opaque, 20-25 minutes.
