Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 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 -fleshed fish
• 2 -3 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons olive oil

Recipe

• 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.
