Pancetta-Wrapped Haddock with Lemon Aioli and Roasted Asparagus image

An easy and simple dish that is dressy enough for company or the holidays. It never fails to please guests but keeps your deli person busy with the waxed paper! The hardest part of this dish really is just wrapping the fish, which does not require any culinary skill whatsoever. Cod, sole, or similar white fish work equally well. Use dry sherry in place of white wine if desired.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup mayonnaise
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch asparagus, bottom 1 inch trimmed
cooking spray
sea salt to taste
4 6-ounce haddock fillets
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
½ teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
12 thin slices pancetta bacon, or as needed - divided
⅔ cup white wine
1 tablespoon warm water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, and garlic in a bowl; refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to blend flavors.
  • Move an oven rack into the middle of oven and place another rack into top third; preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Lay asparagus spears in a row onto a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray; sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Drizzle haddock fillets with olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper and rosemary. Wrap each fillet loosely with 3 slices pancetta bacon, wrapping bacon so that ends meet over skinned side of fillets. Place fillets into a 9x13-inch baking dish with bacon ends on the bottom. Pour white wine around the fillets.
  • Place fish onto lower rack of preheated oven and bake for 7 minutes. Place asparagus onto upper rack of oven. Continue baking until pancetta is browned, fish is opaque and flakes easily, and asparagus are lightly browned on the tips, 7 to 8 more minutes.
  • Stir warm water into lemon aioli sauce until sauce is pourable; pour about 2 tablespoons sauce onto each of 4 serving dishes. Arrange haddock fillets onto sauce and spread 1/4 of the roasted asparagus in a fan shape next to each fillet.

I found that the fish was a bit overcooked, but the pancetta and lemon aioli were still delicious.

The pancetta-wrapped haddock was a bit too salty for my taste, but the lemon aioli helped to balance out the flavor.

I served this dish with a side of roasted potatoes and it was a perfect meal. The potatoes helped to soak up the delicious sauce.

I'm not a big fan of fish, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The pancetta and lemon aioli helped to mask the fishy flavor.

The lemon aioli was easy to make and added a bright, tangy flavor to the fish. I could see this sauce being used on other dishes as well.

I didn't have any pancetta on hand, so I used bacon instead. It turned out just as well and added a smoky flavor to the dish.
