Prosciutto-Wrapped Salmon

Wrapping prosciutto around salmon is the best way to make a dish that makes you want to slap somebody. The prosciutto is very easy to work with. It actually “shrink wraps” as it cooks, tightly sealing itself to the fish. I made mine with half a small potato and roasted brussel spouts.

Ingredients

2 salmon fillets (skin off)
4 slices of prosciutto
1/4 cup of grainy mustard
a sprinkle or two of sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Meanwhile, season the salmon fillets with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Evenly spread the mustard on the top surface of each fillet. Tightly roll each fillet in a slice of prosciutto so that the end is weighed down beneath the salmon. The ends of the salmon will protrude beyond the prosciutto.
Place wrapped fillets on a baking pan, seam sides down. Bake until done - I like mine cripsy, about 25 minutes.
