Looking for an elegant and warm dish to impress your guests? These small seafood gratins with scallops are perfect for a special occasion or just to treat yourself. My grandmother left without giving me her recipe... but I think I've found it! Combining the delicacy of scallops with the tenderness of hake, all wrapped in a creamy, flavored béchamel, this recipe will delight seafood lovers.

Yields8 Servings
Ingredients
 500 Scallops with coral
 2 Hake
 1 Onion
 3 Carrot
 ½ Light Béchamel with cornstarch
 200 Cooked white rice
 15 Dry white wine
 1 Fish court-bouillon
 Salt
 Pepper
 Oil
 Butter
 Breadcrumbs
Directions
1

Prepare the béchamel: in cold milk, add the cornstarch, and thicken over low heat while stirring to prevent sticking to the bottom. Season with salt and add nutmeg and butter.

2

Dissolve the fish bouillon cube in the amount of water indicated on your package (varies by brand) and bring to a boil. Immerse the scallops (I used frozen ones) in the simmering broth for 5 minutes. Drain. In the same broth, poach the hake or cod. Drain.

3

Peel the carrots, cut them into small cubes, and immerse them in boiling salted water for 15 minutes. Peel an onion, chop it, and sauté it in 1 tablespoon of oil until golden.

4

Mix the béchamel with the scallops and flaked fish, add the carrots, onion, white wine, and rice. Season with salt and pepper.

5

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly butter the bottoms of shells or small ramekins or casseroles. Pour in the mixture. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Bake for 25 minutes.

6

To finish, serve hot as a starter or as a light dish for dinner with a salad.

    Seafood gratin with scallops delicious and easy to make My suggestion: I make my béchamel with the cooking juice from the fish and possibly add a little cream.

    Very good Not complicated to prepare, and very presentable Highly appreciated by guests My suggestion: I also made the recipe without rice for a lighter version, and it's just as good.

    cooking too long The cooking seems indeed much too long even with frozen nuts. My suggestion: just poach them for 2 minutes, mix everything together, and then briefly put under the broiler to gratin, because since everything is cooked, the 25 minutes are not necessary and it should be great.
