Ingredients
  

200g mussels, cleaned and debearded

200g shrimp, peeled and deveined

200g scallops, cleaned

1 cup fish stock

1/2 cup white wine

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

    Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

      Cook Seafood: Add the mussels, shrimp, and scallops to the skillet. Pour in the white wine and fish stock. Cover and steam for 5-7 minutes, until the mussels open and the shrimp turn pink. Remove from heat and transfer seafood to a bowl.

        Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, parsley, dill, and lemon juice. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

          Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the cooked seafood back into the sauce, stirring well to coat all the seafood evenly.

            Prepare Cassolette Dish: Spoon the seafood mixture into individual casserole dishes or a large cassolette dish.

              Top with Breadcrumbs: In a small bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the seafood.

                Bake: Place the cassolette dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crispy.

                  Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and additional herbs if desired. Serve warm.
