From NY Times. Ingredients:
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves |
1/2 cup fresh basil leaf |
1/2 cup pine nuts |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
salt |
black pepper, freshly ground |
4 (4 -6 ounce) halibut fillets or 4 (4 -6 ounce) cod fish fillets or 4 (4 -6 ounce) other white-fleshed fish |
2 -3 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced |
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons olive oil |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a small food processor, combine herbs with pine nuts, enough olive oil to make a thick paste, and salt and pepper. (Alternatively, chop everything fine and combine in a bowl.).
2. Season fillets with salt and pepper. Lay two slices of prosciutto on a board, slightly overlapping like fish scales. Smear prosciutto with a layer of herb mixture, then lay fish in center and wrap it up.
3. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes; add butter. When foam subsides, cook fish for a minute on each side, then roast until tender, 5 to 10 minutes depending on thickness. Fillets are done when a thin-bladed knife will pass through their thickest point with little resistance.
