Preheat the oven to 400°F. On a half-sheet pan, toss the asparagus with the olive oil, half the salt, and half the pepper. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes until tender and slightly charred at the tips.
While the asparagus roasts, season the scallops with the remaining salt and pepper. Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter, and once foaming, add the scallops in a single layer. Cook without moving for 2 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the scallops and cook for 2 minutes more until opaque and firm. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lemon juice to coat. Done when opaque and firm, 145°F.
