Proscuitto-wrapped Halibut with Thyme

I'm terrible at wrapping the fish neatly, but it's tasty still.

Ingredients:
2- 5 oz halibut fillets
3 tsp chopped fresh thyme, divided
4 thin slices of proscuitto
2 tsp olive oil
2 Tbs chopped shallot
1/4c dry white wine
1 Tbs butter

Preheat oven to 400'
Sprinkle fish with salt and peppe. Sprink 1 tsp of thyme atop each fillet. Place 2 pieces of proscuitto on work surface, overlapping slightly. Place 1 fish fillet crosswise in center of proscuitto; fold proscuitto over fish fillet. Repeat with remaining proscuitto and fish fillet.

Heat oil in medium ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add proscuitto-wrapped fish, seam side down. Cook until proscuitto is brown on all sides, about 1 min per side. Transfer skillet to oven and roast fish until cooked through, about 6 min. Transfer to plates.

Add shallot to same skillet; saute over medium-high heat until beginning to brown, about 1 min. Add wine and remaining 1 tsp of thyme. Simmer until sauce is slightly reduced, about 1 min. Whisk in butter. Drizzle sauce over fish and serve.
