- Hy-Vee vegetable oil nonstick spray

Directions
Pat scallops dry with paper towels. Drizzle both sides with lemon juice; lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, place 2 small piles, 1 tsp. each, of Parmesan cheese on prepared baking pan. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes or until cheese is melted and crisp; cool slightly and break into pieces.
Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops; cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until scallops reach 145 degrees, turning halfway through.
To serve, place a smeared streak of hollandaise sauce on the bottom of each small serving plate; place scallops on top. Top scallops with crème fraiche, Parmesan crisps and either caviar or salmon. Garnish with dill and capers, if desired.
