Easy Seafood Bake

Introduction

A seafood bake is the ultimate crowd-pleaser when you want something fuss-free, packed with flavor, and perfect for entertaining. Imagine a medley of shrimp, fish, and tender vegetables, all roasted together in a garlicky, buttery sauce—delicious, minimal prep, and easy cleanup. With this Easy Seafood Bake, you get restaurant-quality tastes right from your home kitchen, making it an ideal go-to for family dinners or special occasions.

What Makes This Easy Seafood Bake Irresistible

The appeal of a seafood bake lies in its versatility and simple assembly. Fresh or frozen seafood combines with zesty lemon, aromatic garlic, and your favorite veggies, creating layers of flavor in every bite. Plus, the oven does the heavy lifting for you—no constant attention required. Bake everything together on one pan and serve a well-balanced meal that feels like an instant celebration.

Prep Work: Easy and Efficient

Speed up prep by quickly dicing onions, peppers, and potatoes with the help of the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. It ensures uniform pieces, which is key for even cooking. As for lining your pan for quick cleanup, use a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll—no scrubbing required after dinner.

Choose a mix of your favorite seafood: shrimp, scallops, chunks of cod, or salmon. You can buy a seafood medley or pick them individually. If you’re using frozen seafood, thaw it completely and pat dry before baking to ensure even browning.

Assembling Your Seafood Bake

Toss your veggies and seafood in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and your favorite seafood seasoning. Lay everything out in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan for even roasting and easy serving. A SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet can also be used for a smaller batch or individual servings.

Keep an instant-read thermometer like the ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking on hand. This ensures your seafood reaches the perfect doneness (opaque and flaky, with shrimp turning pink and curling slightly).

Serving Suggestions

Once your seafood bake comes out bubbly and golden, top with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges. Pair with a simple green salad (prepared in the Bentgo Salad Container if you’re meal prepping), and offer warm crusty bread for dipping into the luscious pan juices. To make your table setting shine, a Pureegg Plastic Table Cloth Disposable 10 Pack keeps cleanup a breeze.
