Baked Clams

---

I haven't tried this yet, but this is very similar to a recipe i used on my honeymoon to prepare fresh clams. Now, living in indiana, i'll have to find some alternative to fresh. :-(

Steps

---

Combine the garlic , bread crumbs , parmesan , parsley , olive oil , salt , and pepper in a small bowl and stir to combine.

---

Coarsely chop the clams and combine with the lemon juice in a separate bowl.

---

Place the clam shells on a baking sheet , using a thin bed of rock salt to stabilize them if desired , and divide chopped clams between them.

---

Top with the bread crumb mixture and drizzle with the butter.

---

Cook under a preheated broiler until the topping is golden brown and the clams are bubbling , about 2 minutes.

---

Garnish with lemon wedges.
