from Saveur No. 130
serves 4
4 5-oz skinless, boneless bluefish filets
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
8-12 slices bacon
8 sprigs thyme
3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Heat oven to 425F. Season bluefish lightly with salt and pepper. Wrap each filet crosswise with 2-3 strips bacon and tuck two sprigs thyme in between the bacon and each filet; set aside. Coat the bottom of a small baking dish with 1 tablespoon oil and place the filets in the dish. Drizzle the fish with remaining olive oil. Bake until filets are cooked through and bacon is crispy, about 12 minutes. Set oven to broil to crisp bacon if necessary.
my notes: cut back on oil?
