Seafood Scallop Casserole
Description
This Seafood Scallop Casserole is a luxurious yet comforting main course that brings the best of the sea to your dinner table. Featuring a generous trio of haddock, scallops, and cooked lobster meat, this dish is bound together by a rich, velvety butter sauce that enhances the natural sweetness of the seafood. The texture is perfectly balanced between the tender flakiness of the white fish and the firm bite of the shellfish. Ideal for special family dinners or when you want to impress guests without spending hours in the kitchen, this casserole offers a satisfying, home-style elegance. It pairs beautifully with crusty bread to soak up the sauce or alongside steamed vegetables for a complete meal.Ingredients

Note
For added flavor, consider sprinkling fresh parsley, lemon zest, or a pinch of salt and pepper over the seafood before adding the butter.
Ensure the lobster meat is fully cooked before adding it to the casserole, as it only needs to be warmed through.
If using frozen scallops, thaw them completely and pat them very dry to avoid excess moisture in the dish.
This dish is best served immediately while hot. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
