How to Make Anthony Sedlak Prosciutto Wrapped Halibut With Puttanesca Sauce
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season halibut fillets (about 6 oz each) generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Place 1 fresh thyme sprig on top of each halibut fillet.
- Wrap each fillet tightly with 2-3 slices of prosciutto.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large cast iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil shimmers, add the prosciutto-wrapped halibut, seam-side down.
- Sear the halibut for 2-3 minutes per side, until the prosciutto is golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the seared halibut to a plate and set aside to keep warm.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet.
- Add 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons capers, and 1 bay leaf.
- Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the onion softens.
- Add 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, 1/4 cup dry white wine, and 1-2 tablespoons of olive juice (to taste).
- Bring to a simmer. Add 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, skin side down. Once heated, gently crush the tomatoes with a fork.
- Return the halibut to the skillet.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the halibut is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
