This recipe calls for simmering clams in lemon juice along with butter, herbs, and vegetables. The mixture is then combined with bread crumbs before being placed in a baking dish and topped with parmesan and paprika. The dish is baked uncovered at 350 degrees for 20 minutes to create a baked clam dish. If freezing the dish, it should not be baked before freezing but rather frozen and then thawed and baked later.
