Salmon & Herbs in Prosciutto Parcels

2 bunches of mixed fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, basil and dill
1/2 to 3/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
4 salmon fillets, about 7 oz. each
8 slices of prosciutto
salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 350. Coarsely chop the mixed herbs and put in a mortar, season with a little salt and pound with a pestle. (We don't have a mortar and pestle so we just chopped them up and it worked fine.) Gradually work in the olive oil to make a thick paste.
Spread the herb paste evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets, then wrap each fillet in 2 slices of prosciutto.
Put the wrapped fillets on a large baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25
minutes. Transfer to warmed serving plates and serve immediately.
