Proscuitto Wrapped Salmon

If you've never made this, you need to.  It's so simple, so yummy and perfect for a weeknight or for company.  It has 3 ingredients.  Yup, 3.  Make no excuses, this is easy and you can do it.  I know you can.....and you will.
I'm sure you could use any fish you'd like but I LOVE salmon.  Salmon loves pork.  It's true......it's a beautiful thing.
p.s. only lightly season the fish with salt if you must.  There is salt in the dijon and proscuitto so it certainly doesn't need much, if any.

Proscuitto Wrapped Salmon

Serves 2

2 5 oz pieces of salmon, skin removed

2 tsp dijon mustard

2 slices of proscuitto





Pre-heat the oven to 425F.  Smear each piece of salmon with a tsp of dijon.  Sprinkle a little fresh ground pepper on and wrap with proscuitto.  Place and on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, checking for doneness after 12 minutes. 

Note: I like to take my salmon out about a minute before it's done and tent it lightly with foil.  The residual heat will bring the salmon up to a perfect temp without over-cooking it.
