Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the fish:

* In a shallow dish, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the fish pieces and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

* If using white wine, add it to the marinade and stir well.

3. Prepare the chicken:

* In a separate pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and parsley.

4. Prepare the eggplant:

* In a separate pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the eggplant slices and cook until browned on both sides, about 4-6 minutes per side. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

5. Prepare the casserole:

* In a large skillet, combine the cooked chicken, fish, and eggplant. Stir in the diced tomatoes, grits or heavy cream, and cheese. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through.

* In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, arrange half of the fish, chicken, and eggplant mixture in the bottom of the dish.

* Top with half of the shredded cheese and half of the chopped scallions.

* Repeat the layers, starting with the remaining fish, chicken, and eggplant mixture, followed by the remaining cheese and scallions.

6. Top the casserole with panko breadcrumbs and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

7. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is hot and bubbly.

8. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
