Cheesy Seafood Bake recipe by Cherrypick

A comforting and easy-to-assemble seafood bake. The rich sauce and cheesy topping make it incredibly satisfying, while the mix of seafood and flaky cod keeps it quite indulgent. It's the perfect way to get younger family members to tuck into something new and exciting. Enjoy with warm, crusty bread to mop up all the delicious juices.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Boil the potato slices for 10 mins then drain, tip into a bowl and gently mix in the milk and half the cheese. Don’t worry if the potatoes break up a little. Preheat the oven for the baguette, if using.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion until softened. Stir in the pepper and cook for 5 mins more. Spoon in the balsamic vinegar and bouillon powder, then stir in the tomato passata, chilli flakes, basil and garlic. Lay the cod fillets on top, then cover and cook for 6-8 mins until the cod flakes when tested. Heat the grill to high. Pp the baguette into the oven at this point also and cook following the packet instructions.

Step 3

Take off the heat, stir in the prawns and tip into a shallow baking dish, breaking up the cod into large chunks. Cover with the potatoes and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Grill until golden. While it’s grilling, steam or boil the broccoli to serve with the bake along side the warm baguette, if using.
