  • 400 g cod fillets
  • 200 g peeled shrimp
  • 300 g fresh or frozen mussels
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 200 ml heavy cream
  • 100 g grated cheese like Gruyère or Emmental
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 bunch parsley
  • to taste salt and black pepper

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

  3. Cook until the onion is soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add cod cubes, shrimp, and mussels to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the seafood is opaque and mussels have opened, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix heavy cream with chopped parsley and fresh lemon juice. Pour this over the seafood and gently fold together.
  6. Transfer the seafood mixture to a baking dish and sprinkle grated cheese evenly over the top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Notes

You can easily swap seafood based on your preference; try using haddock or scallops. For a lighter dish, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a béchamel sauce. Fresh parsley and lemon juice make a significant difference in flavor compared to dried herbs or bottled juice. If you have leftovers, store them in the fridge for up to 2 days, and reheat in the oven for best results.
