Hi Everyone and Happy Saturday to you. It's been a relaxing day so far for me. I hope everyone else is having a good day.

Today's recipe sounds really interesting. I will probably try it one night substituting bacon for prociutto and using frozen, defrosted fish fillets. Enjoy!

Prosciutto-Wrapped Fish with Lemony Spinach
Serves 4
Prep Time 25 minutes

4 skinless cod or haddock fillets
4 thin slices of prosciutto
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
3 to 4 bunches of flat leaf spinach (2 1/2 pounds total), thick stems removed and
2 lemons, 1 juiced and 1 cut in wedges

1. Heat the broiler with a rack set 4 inches from the heat. Season the fish with salt and pepper and wrap 1 slice of prosciutto around each fillet.

2. Rub with 1 teaspoon oil and place seam side down on a broiler proof baking sheet. Broil until the prosciutto is browned and the fish is opaque throughout, 12 to 16 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add as much spinach as will fit in the skillet; season with salt and pepper.

4. Cook, tossing and adding more spinach as there is room, until wilted and tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle with lemon juice; toss to combine. Serve fish with spinach and lemon wedges.
