Scallops Gremolata

I've made quite a few scallop recipes but this one is by far my favorite. In this dish from Cooking Light, scallops are lightly coated in breadcrumbs for the perfect golden exterior then sprinkled with a bright gremolata topping. A gremolata is just a fancy term for a mixture of fresh parsley and lemon zest (and traditionally garlic as well but I decided to omit it for this recipe).
