Best 6 Fish Wrapped In Prosciutto Recipes

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED MEDITERRANEAN SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and set a wire rack on a baking sheet. Season the swordfish on both sides with salt and pepper. Wrap each steak with 1 or 2 slices of prosciutto, until just covered, without overlapping too much. Set aside.
• Using a paring knife, peel the oranges, removing all the white pith. Working over a mixing bowl to catch the juice, cut between the membranes to release the segments; add to the bowl. Add the raisins to the bowl so they plump while preparing the rest of the dish. Trim the stalks from the fennel bulbs, reserving the fronds for garnish; remove the tough outer leaves. Cut each bulb in half lengthwise, trim the base and cut out the core. Slice the fennel into strips as thin as possible. Put the fennel slices in the bowl and add the olives, anchovies, vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, the basil and fennel seeds. Season with salt and pepper and toss gently to mix.
• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When shimmering, carefully add 4 of the swordfish steaks and cook until the prosciutto is browned and crisp and the fish is just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Wipe out the skillet, add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil and repeat with the remaining fish.
• Serve the fish over the fennel salad. Garnish with the arugula, cherry tomatoes and reserved fennel fronds.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED FISH WITH LEMON-CAPER BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• In a small bowl, mash together the butter, capers, lemon zest, lemon juice and garlic until combined.
• Pat fish dry with paper towels and season with pepper. Spread butter mixture over top of fillets. Slightly overlap two pieces of prosciutto on work surface. Lay fish butter side down in center of prosciutto, then fold the prosciutto over the fish. Repeat for all fillets.
• Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet (either non-stick or well-seasoned cast iron) over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add prosciutto-wrapped fillets, seam side down/butter side up) and brown for 1-2 minutes per side.
• Transfer skillet to oven and bake until fish (not covered by prosciutto) flakes when gently pressed, about 8 minutes.
• Spoon any pan juices over fillets when serving.

COD BAKED WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick liner or aluminum foil.
• Brush cod fillets with butter, and season with salt and pepper. Wrap each in a slice or two of prosciutto, leaving ends of fillets unwrapped. (If slices tear or are narrow, more than two may be used to wrap each fillet.) Brush with butter again, and place on baking sheet.
• Bake fish until firm and white at unwrapped ends, 10 to 12 minutes. Carefully remove from baking sheet, and, if desired, place each fillet on a bed of lentils.

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED COD

Steps:

• Season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper. Wrap 1 wide or 2 thin slices of prosciutto around each piece of cod. Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and preheat it over a medium-high heat. Add the fish fillets and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the prosciutto is crisp and the fish is cooked through. Serve.

PROSCIUTTO & PESTO FISH GRATIN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Season the fish all over, then wrap each fillet in a slice of ham. Put into a large baking dish. Dot the crème fraîche between the fillets and over the exposed ends of the fish. Dot the pesto around the fish, too. Scatter with the cheese.
• Bake the fish for 15-20 mins, adding the pine nuts halfway through, until the crème fraîche has made a sauce around the fish, and the cheese and ham are turning golden. Serve with plenty of crusty bread to mop up the sauce.

SUPER QUICK PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED FISH

Steps:

• Grind pepper over fish and wrap each piece in 2 slices of prosciutto.
• Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat to medium-high heat. Add fish fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until prosciutto is crisping and fish is starting to brown. You may need to turn the heat down to medium after a few minutes. Note: adjust cooking time if using another type of fish that is thicker than tilapia.
