With permission, we would like to acknowledge Emeril Lagasse and Emerils.com
for providing this wonderful recipe.
4 (6-ounce)
halibut fillets
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
8 thin slices prosciutto ham
2 large Idaho potatoes, peeled and passed through the turning mandoline, soaking
in cool water
1 tablespoon chopped chives
Preheat the
oven to 400 degrees F.
Season the fillets with salt and pepper. Rub 1 teaspoon of the mustard over
each fillet, covering completely. Wrap each fillet with 2 pieces of the proscuitto
ham. Drain the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the potatoes
into 4 equal piles. Wrap each fillet with one pile of the potatoes, tightly.
Cover the potatoes with a damp cloth until ready to use. Repeat the process
until all of the fillets are crusted. In a large, ovenproof saute pan, heat
the oil. When the oil is hot, carefully lay the fillets in the hot oil. Pan-fry
for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, or until the crust is golden. Flip the
fillets over and place the pan in the oven. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes. Remove
from the oven.
To serve, spoon the sauce in the center of each plate. Place the crusted fillets
in the center of the sauce. Garnish with chives. Serve immediately. Yield:
4 servings.
