Prosciutto-Wrapped Tilapia

Tilapia [tuh-LAH-pee-uh] is a firm, dense white-flesh fish that, today, is nearly all farm-raised. It’s mild, juicy, and very affordable — and its flavor comes alive when combined with fragrant sage and salty prosciutto.

Ingredients

STIR:

PAT:

For that over-the-top finish for which Italian dishes are known, drizzle the fillets and risotto with a tasty, slightly sweet lemon-Parmesan topping.

Instructions

Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush grill grate with oil.

Stir together lemon juice, Parmesan, 1 Tbsp. oil, honey, salt, and pepper flakes for the topping; set aside.

Pat tilapia fillets dry with paper towels. Place 2 sage leaves on each fillet. Wrap 1 slice of prosciutto around sage and fillets; secure with long toothpicks. Rub each fillet with 1 tsp. oil.

Grill fillets, covered, until cooked through, 34 minutes per side. Remove toothpicks.

Serve fillets with Broccolini Risotto. Garnish servings with walnuts and drizzle lemon-Parmesan topping over fillets and risotto.

Place fresh sage over fillets. The sage will impart its flavor to the fish when heated on the grill.
