Seared Sea Scallops - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons lemon pepper
16 sea scallops, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided

In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, oregano, thyme and lemon pepper. Roll scallops in flour mixture until lightly coated on all sides.
