Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 pound White fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock), diced
• 0.5 pound Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 0.5 pound Scallops
• 1 cup Shredded Gruyere cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Whisk in 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste, stirring constantly.

Step 4

Gradually add 2 cups of milk and 1 cup of heavy cream, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 4–5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of ground black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of paprika for seasoning.

Step 6

Add the diced white fish, shrimp, and scallops to the sauce, and cook for 2–3 minutes until the seafood just starts to turn opaque. It will finish cooking in the oven.

Step 7

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded Gruyere cheese until melted.

Step 8

Transfer the seafood mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

In a small bowl, combine 0.5 cup of Panko breadcrumbs, 0.5 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix well to create the breadcrumb topping.

Step 10

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the seafood and sauce.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Step 13

Enjoy your Baked Seafood Au Gratin warm!
