Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined.

Place the scallops in a baking dish and pour the garlic butter mixture over them.

In a separate bowl, mix the bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the scallops.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scallops are opaque and the topping is golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
