This panko crumbed scallops recipe is super simple and utterly delicious. There isn’t much in the way of ingredients here, so it’s important that you use high quality ingredients so that their flavours really shine through. It’s also quite important that you use panko. While regular breadcrumbs work, the much greater surface area of panko allows more olive oil to be soaked up and provides a greater crunch and flavour.
