    i have tried several variations to this ever since i tried it a
    long time ago when i posted the recipe.  i thought that the best way to
    do them (before last night) was to use the grille but!!! last night i
    needed something quick and it was raining so i put them in an 425oF
    oven for 30 minutes.  i did not have the sesame seeds or the lime juice
    but used garlic powder instead for added spice. the result was
    fabulous.  i used a pie pan that marinated the scallops for 30 minutes
    at room temp..  they coated themselves with a dark thick sauce and the
    pan cleaned up immediately because of the oil in the dish.  i recommend
    this as a very very easy recipe that tastes great and is good for you!
