Wrapping prosciutto around salmon fillets is an easy way to dress up fish while adding some intense flavour and bringing flair to your table. The prosciutto is very easy to work with. It actually "shrink wraps" as it cooks, tightly sealing itself to the fish. It's a spectacular presentation and very tasty. This dish is also very good with pesto, tapenade or hummus spread on the fish instead of the mustard. This technique also works very well with chicken breasts.
- 4 salmon fillets (6oz, 175g)
- 1/4 cup (60mL) of grainy mustard (I used Dijon mustard)
- 4 (thin) slices of prosciutto
- Sea salt, ground pepper
2. Season the salmon fillets with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
3. Evenly spread the mustard on the top surface of each fillet.
4. Tightly roll each fillet in a slice of prosciutto so that the end is weighed down beneath the salmon.The fillet should be sitting on the seam and the ends of the salmon will protrude beyond the prosciutto.
5. Place wrapped fillets on a baking pan, seam side down.
6. Bake until done – about 15 min.
