Steps:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the bread crumbs and sauté until they are just a tiny bit golden, about 1 minute or so. Stir in the watercress, parsley, celery and celery leaves, scallions, and garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in the Pernod and let it cook off for another minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the capers and a pinch of salt (not too much, those oysters are salty too).
- Preheat the broiler. Fill a baking pan (or two) with a 1/2-inch layer of coarse or rock salt. Lay the oysters on top of the salt. Spoon a little of the sauce mixture on top of the oysters. Broil until just golden, about 2 minutes. Serve hot.

OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER
In this classic recipe, the Rockefeller name refers to the dollar bill-green color of the sauce - and its richness, as it's loaded with butter, garlic, spinach and herbs. You can make the butter sauce up to three days ahead and store it in the refrigerator, then drop dollops of it on shucked oysters just before broiling. Watch the oysters carefully as they broil. You want the bread crumbs in the topping to turn golden and the oysters to warm up slightly but not cook through. Serve these with forks on the side; all the hot, buttery sauce makes them too slick for slurping.

Steps:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the bread crumbs and sauté until they are just a tiny bit golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in the spinach, parsley, shallot and garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in a small pinch of salt.
- Finely grate 1/2 teaspoon zest from the lemon and add it to the bread crumb mixture. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze out 1 tablespoon of the juice; mix into the pan.
- Heat the broiler to high. Fill a baking pan (or two) with a 1/2-inch layer of salt or line the pan with crumbled up foil (to steady the oysters so the juices don't spill). Lay the oysters on top of the salt or foil. Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of the sauce mixture on top of the oysters. Broil until just golden, 1 to 3 minutes. Serve hot, with a squeeze of lemon on top, if you like.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your casserole.
- Don't overcook the oysters. They should be cooked just until they are opaque and slightly firm.
- Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese will give the casserole a rich, flavorful taste.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add other vegetables, such as spinach, artichoke hearts, or mushrooms, to the casserole.
- Serve the casserole hot and bubbly. It's also delicious served cold, so you can make it ahead of time and reheat it when you're ready to serve.

Oysters Rockefeller Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to enjoy oysters, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
