Fish Wrapped in Bacon
Modified from a recipe in Better Homes and Gardens1 lemon
1 1/2 lbs. cod or haddock fillets, cut into 4 pieces
1 1/2 tsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary
fresh ground black pepper
8 slices of thin-sliced bacon or pancetta
1 tsp. olive oil
Preheat oven to 450*. From lemon, grate 1 1/2 tsp. peel. Evenly season fish with rosemary, lemon peel, and pepper. Lay 2 slices of bacon on a cutting board, overlapping slices slightly. Place 1 piece of fish across bacon and wrap bacon around fish. Repeat with remaining bacon slices and fish.
Heat oil in a large oven-safe skillet on medium heat until hot. Add fish to skillet, with seam side of bacon down, and cook 2 minutes. With wide metal spatula, turn fish over and cook 1 minute longer. Turn fish over again so bacon is seam side down. Place pan in oven and roast fish 6-8 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
Serves 4.
Just for the record, Bob said this was good. He said he posted that but for some reason it didn't show up. I think I used a different kind of fish this time that made it better than the first time I made it. Anyway, he liked it and I'll take that.
