salmon, flounder & shrimp casserole

2017-10-22

Revisiting an old theme.

I wanted something with shrimp and ended up adding two fish fillets that I still had in the freezer. It really doesn’t matter much what you put in there as long as the flavors don’t clash too much. This one came out really good. The flavors of the different seafood ingredients remained quite distinct.

The 1-quart ramekins I used are large enough for 2 servings.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 4 servings:

• 1 lb. cooked shrimp
• ½ lb. flounder fillets
• ½ lb. salmon filet
• 1 lb. mixed vegetables of choice
• 1 qt. Mornay sauce
• bread crumbs
• 4 oz. Boursin chives & garlic
  or similar soft cheese

Pic1: salmon, flounder & shrimp casserole

Directions

 

Pic2: shrimp
Pic3: flounder, Boursin
Pic4: salmon

• Thaw any frozen product and drain excess liquid.
  Most frozen seafoods are half their weight in excess liquid.  :-(
• Cook or parboil the ingredients for a few minutes to reduce time in the oven.
• Cut fish and vegetables to fit in the ramekins.
• Fill the ramekins as shown: shrimp, flounder, cheese and salmon

 

Pic5: veggies
Pic6: sauce
Pic7: breadcrumbs, cheese

• Add the vegetables.
• Optional:
  • Sprinkle potato flakes between the various layers to thicken the sauce.
• Prepare the Mornay sauce liquid enough to fill all the spaces between the food. (Pi6)
  I did not add salt because the cheese makes the Mornay salty enough for the entire dish.
• Sprinkle the ramekins with bread crumbs and grated cheese. (Pic7)

 

 

 

Pic8: baked
Pic9: served
Pic10: dig in

• Cook in the oven: 20-30 minutes at 350 ºF if the ingredients were cooked/parboiled beforehand;
  45-75 minutes at 300 ºF if ingredients were raw / frozen.
• Serve and enjoy.

B. mixed vegetable soup

2017-10-22

I could get only so many vegetables in those two ramekins. I used the remainder of the vegetables to make soup.

I did not add any seafood to the soup, but I could have. If there had been leftovers of that casserole, I probably would have added them, but there weren't.  No big deal. Extra ingredients are always optional.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 2 servings:

• 2 cups broccoli
• 2 cups green & yellow garden beans
• 1 cup 'baby' carrots
• 1 cup tri-color bell pepper mix
• S&P

Pic11: mixed vegetable soup

Directions

• Combine all ingredients in a 2-quart saucepan.
• Add enough water to cover it all and some more.
• Add S&P, seasoning to taste.
• Bring to a boil
