Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 4 thick fish fillets (6 - 8 ounces each, Halibut is what I used to make this recipe)
  • 8 slices prosciutto
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup Roasted Red Pepper sauce (below)
  • Olive oil
  • Roasted Red Pepper Sauce:
  • 6 ounces jarred roasted red peppers (about 1/2 a small jar)
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons grated lemon peel
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/8 to 1/4 cup olive oil (use as needed when blending)
  • Salt & pepper to taste
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: To make the pepper sauce (do this first). In a small food processor or blender combine the roasted red peppers, lemon rind, garlic, parmesan cheese and cayenne pepper. Blend the ingredients until they're well broken down. Slowly add some of the olive oil and continue blending. Continue blending and adding just enough olive oil until the mixture is emulsified and resembles a gooey paste. Taste the sauce then add in salt and pepper as needed.

  • Step 2: Lay 2 strips of prosciutto on your working surface and lay a piece of the fish fillet centered on top. Spoon some of the red pepper mixture over the fish fillet.

  • Step 3: Fold one side of the prosciutto over the fish and red pepper sauce and tapenade, then fold the other side over.

  • Step 4: Rub both sides of fish packets with a little olive oil. If you need to you can secure the prosciutto with a toothpick, just remove it before serving.

  • Step 5: Set up the grill for direct cooking and preheat to 400F - 425F. Oil the grates of your grill to prevent sticking.

  • Step 6: When the grill reaches cooking temperature carefully place the prosciutto wrapped halibut recipe on the grill. Close the lid and wait 5 minutes.

  • Step 7: After 5 minutes lift the lid and peek under one of the grilled halibut pieces and look for grill marks. If your pleased enough with the grill marks, very carefully roll each piece over using a spatula. Close the lid for another 5 - 6 minutes. Lift the lid and check the fish, it should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
