Prosciutto-Roasted Halibut with Fresh Thyme Recipe

Prosciutto-Roasted Halibut with Fresh Thyme Recipe

  • 2 5-ounce halibut fillets
  • 3 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, divided
  • 4 thin slices prosciutto
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped shallot
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Sprinkle fish fillets with salt and pepper. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon thyme atop each fish fillet. Place 2 slices prosciutto on work surface, overlapping slightly. Place 1 fish fillet crosswise in center of prosciutto; fold prosciutto over fish fillet. Repeat with remaining prosciutto and fish fillet.
  2. Heat oil in medium ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add prosciutto-wrapped fish, seam side down. Cook until prosciutto is brown on all sides, about 1 minute per side. Transfer skillet to oven and roast fish until cooked through, about 6 minutes. Transfer to plates.
  3. Add shallot to same skillet; sauté over medium-high heat until beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Add wine and remaining 1 teaspoon thyme. Simmer until sauce is slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Whisk in butter. Drizzle sauce over fish and serve.
