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.

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.

PROSCIUTTO COTTO PINWHEELS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta, Parmigiano-Reggiano, oil and rosemary with a rubber spatula. Set aside.
• Lay two pieces of the prosciutto cotto on the board in front of you lengthwise, overlapping by half and patching holes where needed. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture evenly over the ham. Sprinkle the side closest to you with 2 tablespoons chopped giardiniera and press gently into the cheese. Roll the ham into a pinwheel starting with the edge closest to you and rolling away from you. Repeat for the remaining prosciutto cotto and filling. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to firm up.
• To serve, unwrap the rolls and, using a sharp knife, slice into 3/4-inch pieces.

PERFECT TEN BAKED COD

• Coat both sides of cod in melted butter in the baking dish.
• Bake cod in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven; top with lemon juice, wine, and cracker mixture. Place back in oven and bake until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 10 more minutes.
• Garnish baked cod with parsley and green onion. Serve with lemon wedges.
