1

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
2

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and the garlic; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the lemon juice and the salt. Place the scallops in a large bowl and toss with the butter mixture; let stand for about 2 minutes.
3

Thread the scallops onto skewers, or place them in a wire grill basket. Grill on the preheated grill until the scallops turn opaque, turning once, about 4 to 5 minutes.
4

Return the remaining butter mixture to the saucepan; bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and keep it warm while the scallops cook. Toss or brush it over the grilled scallops and serve.
