Baked Cod With Vegetables Prosciutto And Pine Nuts Recipes

COD BAKED WITH PROSCIUTTO

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.

BAKED COD WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO WITH CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425˚F. Pat dry the cod fillets with paper towels and remove any stray bones.
• Place filet onto a rimmed baking sheet and fold the thin sides onto the filet to create a uniformly thick filet. Season all sides with salt and pepper and drizzle each side with 1 Tbsp of olive oil.
• Place strips of prosciutto over the filet overlapping the slices as you go to avoid any gaps in prosciutto. Tuck the layers underneath the filet. The ends do not need to be fully covered.
• Place tomatoes in a bowl, season lightly with salt and pepper, and drizzle with 1 Tbsp olive oil. Toss to combine.
• Add seasoned tomatoes to the baking sheet around the fish and bake at 425˚F for 35 minutes or until the center of the fish reaches 145F on an instant-read thermometer. The fish should be flaky in the thickest part of the filet. Cool for 5 minutes then slice into portions with a serrated knife and spoon pan juices over the slices to serve.

ASPARAGUS WITH PROSCIUTTO AND PINE NUTS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the prosciutto, garlic, and pine nuts in the melted butter until the garlic is fragrant and the nuts begin to turn brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice.
• Bring a pot filled with lightly salted water to boil. Gently boil the asparagus until the bright green and barely tender, about 3 minutes; drain. Add the asparagus to the prosciutto mixture and toss to mix evenly. Season with salt and pepper; serve hot.

CRISPY PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide prosciutto between baking sheets, laying them flat. Bake until fat turns golden and meat is darker, about 15 minutes (rotating baking sheets from top to bottom halfway through baking time). Using tongs, carefully transfer prosciutto to paper towels to drain (it will crisp as it cools). Crispy prosciutto can be used like bacon, in whole pieces or crumbled.

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED COD WITH ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C/375F.
• Season the fish with salt and pepper, then gently wrap tightly each cod fillet with a slice of prosciutto. Brush each fillet with a little olive oil then place on a baking tray.
• In a bowl, mix together the tomatoes with 1 tbsp of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, oregano and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and gently mix until tomatoes are well coated.
• Place the tomatoes on the tray, pouring over them any leftover dressing.
• Bake in the oven in the middle shelf for 10-15 minutes or until the fish is opaque and cooked through (it should flake easily).
• Remove the fish from the oven and set aside on a warm plate. Move the tray on the top shelf and continue to cook the tomatoes for a further 4-5 min.
• Remove from the oven, arrange the fish back in the tray and sprinkle with few basil leaves (optional).
• Serve to the table family-style directly from the tray.

BAKED COD WITH VEGETABLES, PROSCIUTTO AND PINE NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220C/425°F.
• Place the beans in an appropriately sized roasting pan along with the peppers and mushrooms.
• Sprinkle over the garlic along with some salt and pepper.
• Drizzle over some oil to coat the veggies and mix it all around.
• Nestle the cod fillets in among the veggies, lightly season again, then place the slices of prosciutto over the cod and among the veggies.
• Sprinkle with pine nuts and drizzle a little olive oil over the top.
• Place the lemon wedges in between the cod pieces. Do not squeeze.
• Cover the pan with foil and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the foil and cook an additional 10-15 minutes until the fish flakes.

PROSCIUTTO & PESTO FISH GRATIN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Season the fish all over, then wrap each fillet in a slice of ham. Put into a large baking dish. Dot the crème fraîche between the fillets and over the exposed ends of the fish. Dot the pesto around the fish, too. Scatter with the cheese.
• Bake the fish for 15-20 mins, adding the pine nuts halfway through, until the crème fraîche has made a sauce around the fish, and the cheese and ham are turning golden. Serve with plenty of crusty bread to mop up the sauce.
