Serve immediately over your choice of rice, fine noodles, or pasta. Garnish with extra fresh dill, if desired.
For the best flavor, use high-quality, fresh bay scallops.
Don't skip the step of deglazing the pan with white wine – this adds depth of flavor to the sauce.
Be careful not to overcook the scallops. They should be just cooked through and still tender.
Adjust the amount of lemon juice and zest to your personal preference.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
