  • 1 tsp finely grated ginger
  • 5.90 gm Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200C. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter with 1/4 cup (60ml) oil. Add leek, onion, and mushroom. Cook and stir for 15 minutes until soft. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan over high heat, heat half of the remaining oil. Add mussels and wine, cover, and cook for 1 minute. Shake the pan and continue cooking for 1-3 minutes until mussels open. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Remove mussels from shells and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, cover the potato with cold, salted water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Cook for 10-15 minutes until tender. Drain thoroughly, then return the potato to the pan. Add the rest of the oil and use a potato masher or fork to roughly mash. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat until foamy. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes until bubbling. Slowly whisk in stock until thickened. Mix in cream, ginger, mustard, and juice. Stir for 1 minute until sauce boils and thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Distribute the leek mixture, mussels, scallops, prawns, white fish, and salmon evenly into four 2-cup (500ml) ovenproof dishes. Pour the white sauce over each dish. Top with mashed potato, cheese, and breadcrumbs. Arrange the dishes on an oven tray and bake in a preheated oven for 25 minutes until golden and heated through. Serve promptly with a side of salad.
