What's for Dinner? Wednesday: Swai Wrapped with Proscuitto and Arugula


This week's What's for Dinner? Wednesday meal pairs a water dwelling animal with a land dwelling one.  Although they never may have met in the wild, when they meet in your mouth you will swear they were meant to be together!  The odd couple I'm speaking of is Swai (fish) and Proscuitto and the meal you'll be cooking up is Swai Wrapped with Proscuitto and Arugula.  This dish has been modified from one that I found in the Weight Watchers book, In No Time Delicious Dishes in 20 Minutes or Less so you know it'll be done in a jiffy.  Ready to try it for yourself? Here's what you'll need:

Ingredients to serve four:

4 1/4 ounce fillets of fish (I used Swai, but if sole or flounder are available, try them for a better wrap!)
2 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1 cup packed arugula leaves
4 thin slices proscuitto
cooking spray

Step One:  Spread lemon juice evenly over each filet before sprinkling them with pepper.  Top each piece of fish with arugula and one slice of proscuitto before wrapping them into a roll.

Step Two:  Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat it over medium-high heat.  Place your fish rolls on the skillet and cook them until the fish is done and the meat is lightly browned (about 8 mins).

Remove the fish rolls from the skillet and serve them up with your favorite sides for a complete meal.

How lucky am I? I love all the "members" of this lovely combo so I am pretty sure I'd devour this meal. Thanks for the recipe Catherine, it's really new to me.

I don't think I've ever had swai, but I love flounder. I've never had fish prepared quite like this, but I'm game to try!

Proscuitto...now that just sounds elegant. I've had swai before, its a less fishier taste than tallapia. Its pretty good. Needs a lot of seasoning though or to be cooked into a great recipe for added flavor.

This looks like a great recipe for my husband. He is always trying new things and loves cooking fish with different vegetables. I think the prosciutto would well with fish. Never thought of that before!

I like Swai a lot- but it doesn't seem like there are a lot of recipes out there for it. Thanks for sharing one that looks so tasty.

This looks wonderful and elegant! I am just starting to venture into eating seafood (My mother didn't like seafood, so I didn't eat it growing up) and I am always excited to find such a wonderful looking recipe!

I pinned this. I don't know if I can get Swai but I suppose some other fish will do. Hope it turns out well :)

I will be swapping out the fish for chicken, but everything else sounds yummy. I love using fresh ingredients and letting their flavors shine through. Thanks for the tip.

Hmm, I don't eat pork so I will never know how those 2 go together. Not sure what SWAI is. Learn something new every day! Thanks for stopping by WOW Link Up!!!

I'm not a big fan of fish, but my family would probably enjoy.

I do not really like fish but I have never had it like this. Maybe it would change my mind.

My hubby is a fool for proscuitto and I have to try to make this for him. Do you have a final picture of what it looks like? Thanks for visiting WOW.
