Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 4-ounce halibut fillets
  • 6 scallops
  • 6 peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp tails attached
  • ⅓ cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon seafood seasoning e.g., Old Bay
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. Prepare the Seafood: Arrange the halibut fillets, scallops, and shrimp evenly in a glass oven-safe baking dish.
Add Seasonings:
  1. Drizzle the seafood with dry white wine, melted butter, and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  2. Sprinkle minced garlic and seafood seasoning over the seafood.
  3. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  4. Bake the Dish: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the halibut turns white and flakes easily with a fork. The shrimp should be pink, and the scallops should be opaque and tender.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Choose Fresh Seafood: For the best flavor, use fresh halibut, scallops, and shrimp. If using frozen seafood, thaw it completely and pat it dry before cooking.
  • Don’t Overcook: Keep a close eye on the seafood to ensure it stays tender and doesn’t become rubbery.
  • Wine Substitute: If you prefer not to use wine, replace it with chicken broth or a splash of water with a squeeze of lemon.
  • Add Vegetables: Include zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or asparagus in the dish for a one-pan meal.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Replace the butter with olive oil or a dairy-free alternative for a lighter version.
