Ingredients
  • 1 ½ tablespoons sun dried tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 1 ½ teaspoons lemon zest
  • 6 leaves fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 monkfish fillets
  • 4 slices Parma ham
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F, and line a tray with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix together the chopped sun dried tomatoes, lemon zest, crushed garlic, and black pepper.
  2. Lay 2 slices of Parma ham on the counter, and place a filet of monkfish in it diagonally. Repeat this with the other 2 slices of Parma ham, and the remaining monkfish filet.
  3. Divide the sun-dried tomato mixture, spreading it on top of the monkfish fillets, place 3 basil leaves on top of each fillet, and then gently wrap the Parma ham over the top of each filet to make a parcel.
  4. Place the Parma ham-wrapped monkfish onto the paper-lined tray, and bake for 20 minutes. Serve hot.
