Ingredients

6 center-cut salmon fillets (6 ounces each), skinned and halved crosswise

12 very thin slices prosciutto

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Salt to taste

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.

  2. Lightly season each salmon piece with salt. Wrap each salmon piece snugly with one slice of prosciutto, keeping the ends of the salmon exposed.

  3. Brush a large shallow baking pan lightly with olive oil. Arrange the wrapped salmon pieces seam-side down in the prepared pan.

  4. Season the salmon with freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle each piece with approximately 1/2 teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil.

  5. Place the baking pan in the middle of the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 9 minutes, until the salmon is just cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

  6. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Prosciutto and salmon are both readily available at any Charlotte grocery chain, though prosciutto quality and price vary significantly—Food Lion and Harris Teeter stock it reliably, while ALDI and Walmart offer budget options. At six servings with two main proteins, this runs $18–24 total depending on salmon grade and prosciutto brand, landing around $3–4 per serving, which is reasonable for an all-protein dish. The stated 24 minutes is honest for cooking time alone, but wrapping six salmon fillets in prosciutto adds 5–8 minutes of actual prep, making real time closer to 32 minutes. This is fussy for a weeknight—it demands attention at the stove and cannot be rushed or delegated, and while it reheats adequately, salmon is genuinely better fresh.
