It feels like spring has been approaching for weeks. Apart from a freak storm (that actually ended up being a bit disappointing) this past week, there’s been no snow for us this year, and very few really cold days. Instead, this winter has been filled with the kids running in the yard, trips to the playground, and happy hours on patios. The season for warm soups, stews and comfort foods was pretty short this year. With the warm weather, I’ve been switching to lighter meals with fresh ingredients. Spring foods are making an appearance just a little bit earlier than usual.
My hubby and I don’t eat a lot of seafood – for me, even less since I had Miss. Hazelnut (the aversion of seafood never completely disappeared after she was born) – but this recipe has a special meaning for us. It was the first meal my hubby ever cooked for me, what we consider to be our first date. My hubby laughingly told me the story of getting the recipe from a friend and calling with numerous questions. What’s prosciutto? What’s a zester? Do I have to do that? All of this to impress the new girl in town. The unexpected meal was delicious, the perfect first date.
This recipe is my version of that dish – almost 10 years later.
Prosciutto-Wrapped Salmon with Brie
By Books n’ Cooks
Serves 6
Ingredients:
- cooking spray
- 6-6 oz. salmon filets, with skin removed
- 6 oz. brie
- 12 thin slices prosciutto
Preheat oven to 450F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
Place 1 oz. brie on top of each piece of salmon. Wrap each brie-topped salmon piece tightly in two slices of prosciutto, overlapping the slices slightly. Place on prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until salmon is cooked throughout.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes. (I served it over couscous with a side of roasted Brussels sprouts, pictured above.)

Looks great. Your husband meant business cooking you such a nice meal. Happy for you.
Thanks! And he did. He was working pretty hard at making sure I’d stay around. 😉
Wow, this combination sounds incredible!! I can’t wait to try it!!!
what a delicious meal, love salmon. How sweet of your husband to make this meal for you sounds like he was really trying, love stories that come with recipes.
These flavors sound delicious! I will be trying this!
I want a bite! OMG the flavors of this all together I bet are absolutely amazing! This is going on my MUST try list!
Isn’t it funny how our tastes change while pregnant. Some of the changes remain and some fade. This salmon should alleviate any distaste that remains.
Prosciutto and brie kick salmon up a notch!
This looks like an elegant main dish and a different way to enjoy salmon.
I think I need to try this tonight, but I’d like to add some garlic 😍
Enjoy! Look forward to hearing what you thought of it!
