The Cheese Shop S Prosciutto Wrapped Halibut Recipe

Ingredients

4 eight-ounce halibut fillets (or cod, bass, barramundi or other mild, white fish, preferably from Classic Seafood stand, D-1 and E-1)

8 ounces Fontal cheese, sliced (preferably from The Cheese Shop, stand H-8, H-9)

2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves pulled from stem

8 slices prosciutto (preferably from Mediterranean Imports, northwest corner of the market)

1 bunch asparagus, cleaned

Zest of 1 lemon

1 tablespoon cooking oil

Preparation

Wrap fish: Arrange Fontal slices on top of fish pieces. Sprinkle with thyme. Wrap each fillet with 2 slices of prosciutto. Use toothpicks to keep meat in place, if necessary. Remove before serving.

Cooking: Lightly oil a grill pan (or skillet) and place over medium heat until hot. Cook fish, turning to cook each side, about 3-4 minutes total. Fish should be firm.

Serving: Serve with grilled or steamed asparagus topped with lemon zest.
