    We missed out the olives and it worked just as well. Really easy and tasty recipe!

    This was quite nice and very easy make. Took a little longer to cook than recipe stated.

    this meal is perfect for a hot summers day as it's really light and fresh tasting. comes with the added bonus of being virtually effortless too which is exactly what you want when the british humidity has exhausted you. i also placed tarragon sprigs onto the fillets before wrapping with the pancetta which gave it an extra depth without overtaking the subtle flavour of the white fish. have added it to my binder. highly recommended!

    We used barramundi in this recipe and it was absolutely delicious. The combination of flavours is amazing and this would work equally well for a midweek supper or for dinner with friends. The fish did take a little longer to cook though... check out the recipe on my blog http://www.theannoyedthyroid.com/2012/08/25/pancetta-wrapped-fish-with-lemony-potatoes/ and don't forget if you're using pancetta, make sure it's the flat, not the round variety!
