How To Make Jamie Oliver Seafood Casserole

4. Prepare the Flounder: Place flounder fillets in a casserole dish. Add a bit of water and sprinkle Old Bay seasoning. Bake for 10 minutes at 350°F. Drain any excess water.
5. Assemble and Bake: Add the seafood mixture over the flounder in the casserole dish. Sprinkle some more Old Bay seasoning. Bake for 25 minutes at 350°F until golden brown.

What To Serve With Seafood Casserole

For a well-rounded meal, consider serving your seafood casserole with a side of fluffy rice, buttered noodles, or creamy garlic mashed potatoes. A green vegetable like steamed asparagus or a fresh garden salad can add color and nutrition to your plate.

How To Store Seafood Casserole

In The Fridge:

Place any leftover seafood casserole in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for 2-3 days. Make sure the casserole has cooled down to room temperature before sealing it to maintain its texture and flavor.

In The Freezer:

If you plan to store the casserole for a longer period, wrap it tightly in aluminum foil and then place it in a freezer-safe container. Label the container with the date and store it in the freezer for up to 1-2 months.

How To Reheat Seafood Casserole

To reheat the casserole from the fridge, preheat your oven to 350°F and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through. If reheating from the freezer, it’s best to thaw the casserole in the fridge overnight and then follow the same reheating instructions. Always check the center to ensure it’s hot before serving.
