Cheese-Mayo Baked Mussels (Mussels Dynamite)
Description
This recipe begins by rinsing and drying frozen mussels in their half shells. A sauce composed of mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, lime juice, Sriracha chili sauce, and sugar is mixed to a smooth consistency and spooned generously atop each mussel. Baking at 350°F (180°C) for about 20 minutes browns the cheese-mayo mix to a golden crust while heating the mussels through. Once out of the oven, a small amount of tobiko fish roe is added to each mussel, providing a subtle salty burst and delicate texture contrast.
The dish highlights the combination of creamy, tangy, and lightly spicy notes balanced with the natural umami of the mussels. These baked mussels serve well as finger food or appetizer, suitable for sharing and pairing with crisp white wines or light salads.
Ingredients
- 12 green mussels frozen, on half shells
- 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1/2 teaspoon lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon chili sauce Sriracha
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon tobiko fish roes
Instructions
- Set the oven to 350°F (180°C) and preheat. Rinse the mussels thoroughly, then dry them with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients, except for the tobiko fish roe, and mix well.
- Lay the mussels on a tray lined with a baking sheet or aluminum foil. Top each mussel with about 1/2 tablespoon of the cheese-mayo mixture.
- Bake the mussels for about 20 minutes, or until the surface turns golden brown. Remove from the oven, top with some tobiko fish roe, and serve warm.
