Number Of Ingredients 5

Halibut fillets (4-6 ounces, depending on appetite)
Prosciutto slices (1 - 1 1/2 per fillet, depending on size)
Freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil to coat skillet
In addition to Halibut-which is a firm, meaty, yet slightly-sweet fish-this meal may be made with Tilapia, Cod, or another white fish of your choice. Depending on the thickness of the fillets, you may simply need to adjust the cooking time up or

Steps:

Sprinkle the fish with pepper to taste. Wrap a slice of prosciutto around the middle of each fish fillet. If the fillets are large or the prosciutto slices are small, you may need to overlap part of a second piece to fully cover.
Coat a large skillet (cast iron works great if you have one) lightly in olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.
When hot, place the prosciutto-wrapped fish in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the prosciutto is golden and crispy and the fish is just barely cooked through. The fish will continue to cook a bit after it has been removed from the heat.
Serve with your favorite green vegetable, a baked potato and/or a side salad...or whatever sounds good to you!
