Adapted from America's Test Kitchen 30 Minute Suppers. Easy enough to make for a quick meal yet impressive enough to serve to guests. As the butter melts, it flavours the fish and combines with the fish's natural juices to create a flavourful sauce. One lemon will provide the juice and zest.

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 swordfish steaks, skin removed (3/4 inch thick; about 4 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 pound prosciutto, thinly sliced
2 oranges
1/4 cup golden raisins
2 bulbs fennel
1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted
6 anchovy fillets, chopped
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 fresh basil leaves, cut into chiffonade
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
4 ounces baby arugula
6 cherry tomatoes, halved

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.

COD BAKED WITH PROSCIUTTO



Cod Baked With Prosciutto image

Cod with prosciutto and lentils is one of my favorite dinner party standbys. You can brush the cold cod fillets with a little melted butter and wrap them in the prosciutto a few hours before you want to cook them. Just let them sit in the fridge, and remember to bring them to room temperature before brushing with a little more butter and cooking. Arrange the lentils on a large dish, place the fish on top and garnish with some freshly chopped parsley if you wish.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 (6-ounce) skinless cod fillets
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Salt and black pepper
8 ounces prosciutto di Parma (about 16 large slices)
French lentils with garlic and thyme, for serving (optional; see recipe)

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-ROASTED HALIBUT WITH FRESH THYME



Prosciutto-Roasted Halibut with Fresh Thyme image

Categories     Roast     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Halibut     White Wine     Prosciutto     Thyme     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 5-ounce halibut fillets
3 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, divided
4 thin slices prosciutto
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped shallot
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Sprinkle fish fillets with salt and pepper. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon thyme atop each fish fillet. Place 2 slices prosciutto on work surface, overlapping slightly. Place 1 fish fillet crosswise in center of prosciutto; fold prosciutto over fish fillet. Repeat with remaining prosciutto and fish fillet.
  • Heat oil in medium ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add prosciutto-wrapped fish, seam side down. Cook until prosciutto is brown on all sides, about 1 minute per side. Transfer skillet to oven and roast fish until cooked through, about 6 minutes. Transfer to plates.
  • Add shallot to same skillet; sauté over medium-high heat until beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Add wine and remaining 1 teaspoon thyme. Simmer until sauce is slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Whisk in butter. Drizzle sauce over fish and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: Firm-fleshed fish like salmon, halibut, and cod are best for wrapping in prosciutto. Avoid delicate fish like sole or flounder, as they will fall apart during cooking.
  • Use high-quality prosciutto: Look for prosciutto that is thinly sliced and free of blemishes. Avoid prosciutto that is too thick or dry, as it will be difficult to wrap around the fish.
  • Season the fish: Before wrapping the fish in prosciutto, season it with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Wrap the fish tightly: When wrapping the fish in prosciutto, make sure to do it tightly so that the prosciutto sticks to the fish. This will help to keep the fish moist during cooking.
  • Cook the fish properly: The cooking time for fish wrapped in prosciutto will vary depending on the thickness of the fish and the cooking method. Be sure to cook the fish until it is cooked through, but not overcooked.

Conclusion:

Fish wrapped in prosciutto is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can easily create a restaurant-quality meal at home. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook fish, give this recipe a try!
