Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Carefully discard all but 1 tsp bacon fat (dbl for 4 ppl ) from the pan.
Meanwhile, roughly chop parsley.Roughly chop spinach.Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges. Pat scallops dry with paper towels, pressing well to absorb as much moisture as possible. Season with salt and pepper.
