Servings: 4
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon fillets partially thawed
- 8 slices proscuitto
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prep. Soak the wooden skewers in a bowl of water for about 10 minutes so they don’t burn in the oven. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment or foil, then set a rack on top. Set aside.
- Prepare the salmon. Take the partially thawed fillets and cut them into long pieces; you’ll need 8 in total. I get four fillets - they each weigh about 3 to 4 ounces - and I cut each fillet, longwise, into two pieces.
- Thread. Poke the skewers through each piece of salmon in a threading motion. Then wrap a slice of prosciutto around the salmon.
- Season. Brush each skewer with olive oil and season lightly with black pepper. Add a pinch of salt only if you want extra, but prosciutto is already salty.
- Bake. Arrange the skewers on the rack and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the prosciutto is crisp around the edges.
- Serve. Remove the salmon kabobs from the oven and serve.
