Ingredients

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Season the fillets with salt and pepper. Rub 1 teaspoon of the mustard over each fillet, covering completely. Wrap each fillet with 2 pieces of the proscuitto ham. Drain the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the potatoes into 4 equal piles. Wrap each fillet with one pile of the potatoes, tightly. Cover the potatoes with a damp cloth until ready to use. Repeat the process until all of the fillets are crusted. In a large, oven-proof saute pan, heat the oil. When the oil is hot, carefully lay the fillets in the hot oil. Pan-fry for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, or until the crust is golden. Flip the fillets over and place the pan in the oven. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the oven. To serve, spoon the sauce in the center of each plate. Place the crusted fillets in the center of the sauce. Garnish with chives. Serve immediately.

  • CAPER AND TOMATO BUTTER SAUCE
  • Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 1999
  • 1/4 cup minced shallots
  • 1 cup white wine
  • Salt
  • Cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 sticks cold butter, cut into pieces

  • 2 tablespoons chopped shallots
  • 1/4 cup capers
  • 1/2 cup small diced tomatoes

In a saucepan, over medium heat, combine the shallots and wine. Season with salt and cayenne. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the mixture reduces by half. Add the cream and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, a couple of pieces at a time. Season with the salt, cayenne, hot sauce and Worcestershire. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Place back in the saucepan and add the shallots, capers and tomatoes. Stir well and keep warm.

    I loved this recipe! I boiled and mashed the potatoes, then patted them on both sides of the fish. I fried them in olive oil and butter. I omitted putting them in the oven as they had a good crust on both sides. Not fishy at all!!!

    This was fantastic!!! And I agree...it took some work....but it was well worth it. First...there wasn't any halibut at my grocers so I used haddock instead. Then I did not have a mandolin...so I used a potato peeler and slowly sliced very thin slices of potato length wise. Instead of toothpicks....which I think would have been way too hard.....I used cheesecloth to secure the potato around the fish. After about 30 min or so the potatoes were formed around the fish and I could take the cheesecloth off without a problem. I baked the extra potatoes to form chips and served asparagus as well. The presentation was absolutely wonderful!

    Very easy and tasty! Used what 'fresh' fish we have in IN (tilapia and used half and half instead of cream, turned out well. Did not have a mandoline, so I thinly sliced the potatoes, and placed the slices on both sides of the fish, using toothpicks to secure. Only tricky part is making sure all toothpicks are out before serving! Would definitely make again!
