Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 halibut fillets about 6 oz each
  • 8 slices prosciutto
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Pat the halibut dry, season with pepper, and press thyme leaves onto each fillet.
  3. Wrap two slices of prosciutto snugly around each fillet.
  4. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet and sear the bundles 2 minutes per side until the prosciutto crisps.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast 8 to 10 minutes, until the halibut is just cooked through.
  6. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.

Notes

Skip the salt. The prosciutto brings plenty on its own.
