Lay the scallops on a paper towel-covered baking sheet and let them air dry for about 10 minutes at room temperature. Gently press another paper towel on top to absorb any extra moisture.
Sprinkle a good amount of salt and pepper over the scallops.
In a cast-iron skillet, warm up 2 tablespoons of olive oil over high heat until it starts to smoke. Carefully place the scallops in the skillet, ensuring they don't overlap, and sear for 1 ½ – 2 minutes or until a rich golden crust appears.
Flip and sear for another minute. Add in the butter and lemon slices, using a spoon to coat the scallops with the sauce. Serve immediately.
