Winter Comfort Foods, Made Easy

From creamy casseroles to satisfying soups, these quick, cozy seafood recipes are ready to warm you up.

When it comes to battling winter’s chill, few things are better than sitting down to a hearty helping of comfort food. But you don’t need to spend hours in the kitchen to enjoy these cozy favorites—they come together quickly thanks to pantry-friendly seafood staples. These six delicious recipes will keep you warm through the frosty weather—and keep you coming back for seconds.

Crab Bisque

Nothing says winter luxury quite like a velvety bisque. This restaurant-worthy version brings together sweet lump crab meat and cream for a delicate flavor, while a touch of sherry adds depth and cayenne provides just enough warmth. Serve with crusty bread and a simple green salad for the ultimate cold-weather meal.

10-Minute Ramen Noodle Soup with Sweet & Spicy Tuna

When comfort food cravings strike but time is extra-tight, this clever twist on ramen comes to the rescue. The flavor and protein come courtesy of our tuna infused with Thai Kitchen’s sweet chili sauce, while bok choy, green onions and cilantro bring freshness. While the water comes to a boil you can also throw in any vegetables you have on-hand—carrots, broccoli, celery and more—to make your ramen even more nutritious.

Tuna Casserole

This crowd-pleasing baked pasta dish proves why the tuna casserole is a forever classic. Flaky morsels of Albacore tuna meet tender noodles in a creamy mushroom sauce, all topped with a savory, crunchy crumb topping. You can also opt for low fat milk and reduced fat cream of mushroom soup, which cuts out a few calories without compromising on flavor. It’s the kind of dish that makes you grateful for cold weather—and even more grateful for leftovers.

Salmon Mac and Cheese

Mac and cheese always ranks high on the comfort food scale, but our wild caught salmon takes it in an appealingly sophisticated direction. This elevated twist on the classic combines deliciously melty mozzarella, jack, and swiss cheese with salmon and peppery arugula. For an added dose of sweetness, mix in tender peas before baking.

New England Clam Chowder

Nothing takes the chill off quite like a bowl of New England clam chowder. This version delivers everything you love about the seaside favorite—tender clams, hearty potatoes, and a rich, garlicky broth that’ll have you heading back for seconds. We like to finish with a crumble of bacon on top as the final smoky, salty kiss.

Salmon Lemon Risotto with Asparagus

When you’re craving hearty winter fare that doesn’t feel too heavy, this bright, creamy risotto delivers. Salmon and tender asparagus perfectly complement traditional Italian arborio rice, while hints of lemon add a zing that cuts through gray winter days. Whether you’re making dinner for two or hosting a weekend gathering, it strikes the perfect balance between indulgent and fresh.
