Prosciutto Wrapped Salmon with Pesto

As Christmas approaches my thoughts go to what am I going to make for Christmas Eve’s Feast of the Seven Fishes. This easy dish features salmon filet coated with savory basil pesto and wrapped with prosciutto that crisps up in the oven.  They can even be prepared ahead of time and popped in the oven when your guests arrive.

Makes 4 Servings

Ingredients

2 large Salmon filets (1-1½ lbs.) *
Salt and Pepper
¼ C Basil Pesto
1/8 lb. Prosciutto (sliced very very thin)
Cooking Spray

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Cut each salmon fillet in half. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Cover each piece with 1 tablespoon of pesto. If the salmon is thin roll it up. Wrap the salmon with prosciutto and place in a baking tray coated with cooking spray.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the fish reaches 125°F or becomes flakey. Serve immediately.
