PANCETTA-WRAPPED HADDOCK WITH LEMON AIOLI AND ROASTED ASPARAGUS



Pancetta-Wrapped Haddock with Lemon Aioli and Roasted Asparagus image

An easy and simple dish that is dressy enough for company or the holidays. It never fails to please guests but keeps your deli person busy with the waxed paper! The hardest part of this dish really is just wrapping the fish, which does not require any culinary skill whatsoever. Cod, sole, or similar white fish work equally well. Use dry sherry in place of white wine if desired.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup mayonnaise
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch asparagus, bottom 1 inch trimmed
cooking spray
sea salt to taste
4 6-ounce haddock fillets
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
½ teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
12 thin slices pancetta bacon, or as needed - divided
⅔ cup white wine
1 tablespoon warm water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, and garlic in a bowl; refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to blend flavors.
  • Move an oven rack into the middle of oven and place another rack into top third; preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Lay asparagus spears in a row onto a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray; sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Drizzle haddock fillets with olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper and rosemary. Wrap each fillet loosely with 3 slices pancetta bacon, wrapping bacon so that ends meet over skinned side of fillets. Place fillets into a 9x13-inch baking dish with bacon ends on the bottom. Pour white wine around the fillets.
  • Place fish onto lower rack of preheated oven and bake for 7 minutes. Place asparagus onto upper rack of oven. Continue baking until pancetta is browned, fish is opaque and flakes easily, and asparagus are lightly browned on the tips, 7 to 8 more minutes.
  • Stir warm water into lemon aioli sauce until sauce is pourable; pour about 2 tablespoons sauce onto each of 4 serving dishes. Arrange haddock fillets onto sauce and spread 1/4 of the roasted asparagus in a fan shape next to each fillet.

Steps:

  • First make the dressing. Mix the rind and juice of the lemon with the garlic, parsley and olive oil, seasoning with salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Take three asparagus spears and wrap them together tightly in one slice of Pancetta, ensuring that the whole asparagus is well covered in the Pancetta, particularly the tip. Complete this for the rest of the asparagus.
  • Heat a large heavy non-stick frying pan with a tablespoon of olive oil and place the Pancetta wrapped asparagus in the pan to cook.
  • It may be necessary to do this in batches depending on the size of your pan. Cook until the Pancetta is really crispy, turning as it cooks.
  • On four plates arrange a bed of salad leaves and dress with the lemon and garlic dressing, gently tossing the leaves to coat.
  • Slice each of the Pancetta wrapped asparagus in half with a diagonal slice and divide between the plates.

ASPARAGUS WRAPPED IN PANCETTA WITH CITRONETTE



Asparagus Wrapped in Pancetta with Citronette image

This dish is from Mario Batali's cookbook "Italian Grill." He shared it exclusively with Martha Stewart Living Radio (Sirius channel 112).

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds large asparagus, 12 to 18 stalks per pound
4 ounces thinly sliced pancetta
Grated zest and juice of 1 orange
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
Coarse sea salt

Steps:

  • Snap the tough bottom stalks off the asparagus. Unroll the slices of pancetta and lay them out on a work surface. Lay an asparagus spear on a slight diagonal across the bottom of one slice and roll it up, covering as much of the stalk as possible but leaving the tip visible (if you are using jumbo asparagus, you may have a few slices of pancetta left over for another dish). Place on a tray or small baking sheet and repeat with the remaining asparagus. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour (this rest will help the pancetta adhere to the asparagus).
  • Preheat a gas grill or prepare a fire in a charcoal grill.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the orange zest, juice, and mustard. Continuing to whisk, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until emulsified and smooth. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  • Place the asparagus on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until it is just tender and the pancetta is crisped, about 4 to 6 minutes. If the pancetta browns too much before the asparagus is cooked, move the spears to a cooler part of the grill.
  • Whisk the citronette again, and pour half of it onto a serving platter. Sprinkle with half of the chopped thyme and pile the asparagus on top. Drizzle with the remaining citronette and sprinkle with the remaining thyme. Serve with a small bowl of coarse sea salt for dipping.
