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.

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.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cod came out dry and tough. I think I may have overcooked it.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and herbs to give it more flavor.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cod. I like to add a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh herbs before serving.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a disaster. The fish was overcooked and the prosciutto was burnt.

I'm not a huge fan of fish, but this recipe changed my mind. The cod was so tender and flavorful, and the prosciutto added a nice touch of saltiness.

The prosciutto added a nice touch of saltiness, but I found the cod to be a bit dry. Next time, I'll try brining the cod before cooking.
