Halibut Wrapped In Prosciutto With Polenta And Truffle Oil Recipes

HALIBUT WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO WITH POLENTA AND TRUFFLE JUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F Overlap 2 slices of prosciutto on waxed paper. Season halibut before wrapping in prosciutto. Refrigerate until needed (can be done up to 2 hours in advance). Bring milk to boil with butter, salt and pepper. Whisk in cornmeal slowly and cook for 10 minutes stirring constantly on low heat. Add dried figs and rosemary. Check seasoning. The consistency of the polenta should be soft and moist (if too thick add a little water and adjust seasoning). Keep the polenta warm until serving. Roast halibut in oven with a little olive oil for 5 to 8 minutes. Check fish for tenderness with a toothpick. The toothpick should go in with little or no resistance. Do not overcook! Spoon polenta into large serving bowls. Top with halibut. Spoon in 2 ounces of hot chicken broth and drizzle with truffle oil. Garnish with a rosemary sprig.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED HALIBUT WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND KALE COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the halibut with salt and pepper. Lay 2 slices of prosciutto on a flat surface, slightly overlapping each other. Place a halibut fillet at the end of the slices and roll up (like a mini burrito). Repeat with the remaining prosciutto and halibut.
• Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the halibut just until the prosciutto gets browned, about 1 minute per side. (If your pan is hot enough, this will happen quickly. This is just for color and crisping the prosciutto; the fish will cook later in the oven!) Transfer the fish to a plate.
• Quickly stir the garlic, lemon zest and chile flakes into the skillet. Add the Brussels sprouts and kale and saute until tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the couscous, hot stock and currants. Place the fish on top of the mixture and transfer to the oven. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove the fish from the skillet, fluff the couscous with a fork and serve.

Place 1 fish fillet crosswise in center of prosciutto; fold prosciutto over fish fillet. Repeat with remaining prosciutto and fish fillet.
• 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.
• 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.

• Place the fish on a baking sheet and position it on the middle rack of the oven.

• Serve each with a wedge of lemon and the pesto drizzled over the top.
