Elegant Roast Prosciutto Wrapped Fish Recipe

Elegant Roast Prosciutto Wrapped Fish

From chihuahua 15 years ago

This recipe was posted in my newspaper last year under Simple Cooking. Makes a nice appetizer.

Heat oven to 450 degrees.
In a small food processor, combine herbs with pine nuts, enough olive oil to make a thick paste, salt and pepper. (Alternatively, chop everything fine and combine in a bowl.)
Season fillets with salt and pepper.
Lay two slices of prosciutto on board, slightly overlapping like fish scales.
Smear prosciutto with a layer of herb mixture, then lay fish in center and wrap it up (with the prosciutto.)
Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes; add butter.
When foam subsides, cook fish for a minute on each side, then roast in oven until tender, 5 to 10 minutes depending on thickness.
Fillets are done when a thin-bladed knife passes through thickest point with little resistance.
