Roasted prosciutto-wrapped white fish with pesto |
|
|
I had a version of this in a restaurant recently and I had to re¬create it. Prosciutto used sparingly is fine in your diet. You can experiment with different herbs and nuts to make the pesto.
- 1 1/2 lb firm white fish (such as halibut, sea bass or black cod), cut into six 4 oz fillets
- 6 thin slices prosciutto (about 3 oz in total)
- pinch of pepper
|
|
PESTO
- 2/3 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2/3 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts (or almonds)
- 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp finely chopped garlic
- pinch of salt and pepper
|
|
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking pan with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
- To make the pesto, combine the basil, parsley, pine nuts, Parmesan, olive oil, garlic and salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor and process until all the ingredients are finely chopped and well combined. Do not purée.
- Place the prosciutto slices horizontally on a flat surface. Spread the pesto down the middle of each slice. Place a fish fillet vertically on each slice and wrap the prosciutto around the fish.
- Lightly coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the fish and sauté on each side for 1 minute or until the prosciutto begins to get crisp.
- Place the fish on the prepared baking pan and bake for 10 minutes or until the fish just flakes when tested with a fork.
