Prosciutto Wrapped Oven Baked Cod
This delightfully light and zesty oven baked cod recipe is very easy to make and is packed full of flavors. The prosciutto infuses the cod with a lot of flavor so there is no need to season the cod before wrapping it up in prosciutto. Then adding the lemon parsley sauce on top balances out the salty savory flavors from the prosciutto. I like to serve this dish over rice with either steam broccoli or lemon sauteed asparagus. – Kara, The Accidental Chef

Place the baking pan into the oven for 8 to 10 mins or until the cod is flaky.
