6 Seafood Recipes Perfect for Easter Entertaining 🐟

Published 17 days ago • 1 min read

Whenever I think of an Easter menu, my mind immediately goes to of seafood. Whether you’re hosting a long lunch, feeding a crowd, or just want something that feels a little bit special without being complicated, these are the recipes I come back to every single year.

They’re easy to make, always a crowd pleaser and are designed to be shared. And as always… lots of olive oil and lots of garlic.

I will be hosting my mum, brother and their partners this Easter and I will definitely be serving some of the seafood recipes you can find below. I would love to know what your Easter plans are and what is going on your menu!

✨ Easter Seafood Recipes✨

✨NEW RECIPE!✨

This whole baked snapper with salsa verde is a simple yet impressive seafood recipe that’s perfect for Easter entertaining. Ready in just 15 minutes, the snapper is roasted with olive oil, lemon and herbs until perfectly tender, then finished with a light and fresh homemade salsa verde.

This scallop pasta with cherry tomatoes is a breeze to make, using only the freshest ingredients for a light yet indulgent dish. While many leave scallop recipes to the pros, this one will have you cooking them like a seasoned chef in no time.

This hot honey slow roasted salmon is zesty, spicy, sweet and melt in your mouth tender. The salmon is coated in a generous mix of warm spices, slathered in a buttery hot honey sauce and slow roasted until it flakes apart with the lightest touch

This shrimp (prawn) and saffron spaghetti is the kind of pasta that feels restaurant worthy but is surprisingly simple to make at home.

There’s nothing quite like a bowl of buttery garlic clams, served with crusty bread to soak up every last drop of that golden sauce. Sweet, tender clams (pipis) are steamed in a garlic butter and white wine sauce for a dish that tastes like summer by the sea.

My buttered lobster pasta is always a favourite with my regular readers and for good reason! his creamy lobster pasta is made using the whole lobster for maximum flavour!

Buy me a bottle of olive oil! 🫒

Hello Reader, I know we all love a quick and easy dinner that doesn’t involve a lot of work and definitely doesn’t involve a lot of dishes. I tend to save my more dish-heavy recipes for the weekend.

It’s definitely not spring here in Melbourne, Australia right now. I am currently curled up on the couch with my slippers, a warm jumper and a hot cup of tea… but I feel like I’ve been living in it a little bit lately. As all my US friends enter spring, every time I open my phone my feed is filled with lovely light, green meals. And one thing I keep noticing everywhere right now? Artichokes. Which happens to be one of my absolute favourite vegetables to cook with. So if you are heading into...

So if you’re staying in this weekend, here are 5 recipes I always come back to. They’re simple, comforting, and just have that weekend energy (so of course we needed to...
