Baked Cod Wrapped In Prosciutto With Cherry Tomatoes Food

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED COD WITH ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C/375F.
• Season the fish with salt and pepper, then gently wrap tightly each cod fillet with a slice of prosciutto. Brush each fillet with a little olive oil then place on a baking tray.
• In a bowl, mix together the tomatoes with 1 tbsp of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, oregano and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and gently mix until tomatoes are well coated.
• Place the tomatoes on the tray, pouring over them any leftover dressing.
• Bake in the oven in the middle shelf for 10-15 minutes or until the fish is opaque and cooked through (it should flake easily).
• Remove the fish from the oven and set aside on a warm plate. Move the tray on the top shelf and continue to cook the tomatoes for a further 4-5 min.
• Remove from the oven, arrange the fish back in the tray and sprinkle with few basil leaves (optional).
• Serve to the table family-style directly from the tray.

BAKED COD WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO WITH CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425˚F. Pat dry the cod fillets with paper towels and remove any stray bones.
• Place filet onto a rimmed baking sheet and fold the thin sides onto the filet to create a uniformly thick filet. Season all sides with salt and pepper and drizzle each side with 1 Tbsp of olive oil.
• Place strips of prosciutto over the filet overlapping the slices as you go to avoid any gaps in prosciutto. Tuck the layers underneath the filet. The ends do not need to be fully covered.
• Place tomatoes in a bowl, season lightly with salt and pepper, and drizzle with 1 Tbsp olive oil. Toss to combine.
• Add seasoned tomatoes to the baking sheet around the fish and bake at 425˚F for 35 minutes or until the center of the fish reaches 145F on an instant-read thermometer. The fish should be flaky in the thickest part of the filet. Cool for 5 minutes then slice into portions with a serrated knife and spoon pan juices over the slices to serve.

• Scatter the ham over the top and roast in a preheated oven, 425 degrees F, for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, drizzle over the lemon juice, cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Garnish the cod with basil leaves and serve with new potatoes and a green salad.
