Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, fennel, celery, and carrots; cook, stirring often, until the vegetables soften and the onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Add flour and stir to thoroughly coat the vegetables, cooking and stirring for 1 minute. Add wine, and stir until it evaporates and the mixture forms a slurry, about 15 seconds. Add fish stock and 3 tablespoons cream, stirring until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then gently fold in the seafood, green peas, and parsley.

Reduce heat to medium-low and, stirring gently and often, bring the mixture to a low simmer until the sauce is warm again but the seafood is not fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Ladle 2 cups of the mixture into each of 5 (18- to 20-ounce) ungreased ramekins or ovenproof bowls. Set the bowls on a foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet.

Whisk the egg and the remaining 1 tablespoon heavy cream in a small bowl. Place the defrosted puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured work surface. Roll each sheet into a 13" x 13" square and cut each square into quarters. Discard any extra pastry. Place a pastry square over each bowl, folding the corners decoratively to fit, and brush the top with the egg wash. Use the tip of a knife to make 3 small slits in the center of the pastry to vent steam during baking. If desired, place chopped fennel fronds or parsley leaves on top, lightly pressing them into the pastry with the egg wash to adhere.

Place the baking sheet with the individual portions in the preheated oven and bake until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly, about 40 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
