This seafood thermidor makes an excellent centerpiece for a special night in or for company. The mix of shrimp, fish and a luxurious cream sauce tastes expensive (but it's not).

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 3 tablespoons Lipton beefy onion soup mix
  • 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup 2% milk
  • 2 tablespoons white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 pound cod, haddock or orange roughy fillets, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1/4 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and cut into thirds
  • 3 tablespoons shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, saute onion in 1 tablespoon butter until tender. Combine soup mix and flour; stir into onion until blended. Gradually whisk in milk. Stir in wine or broth and lemon juice. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened.
  2. Add cod; cook for 1-1/2 minutes. Stir in shrimp; cook 1 minute longer or until fish flakes easily with a fork and shrimp turn pink. Remove from the heat; stir in mozzarella cheese and parsley until cheese is melted.
  3. Preheat broiler. Transfer seafood mixture to a 3-cup baking pan coated with cooking spray. Melt remaining butter; toss with bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle over seafood mixture.

Here in the Midwest, lobster can be pricey, so I found a recipe that tastes like lobster Thermidor but costs a lot less. —Sandi Laskowski, Rapid City, South Dakota
