Pancetta-Wrapped Haddock With Lemon Aioli And Roasted Asparagus - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Lemon Aioli Sauce:
    1/2 cup mayonnaise
    1 lemon, juiced
    1 tablespoon lemon zest
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    Roasted Asparagus:
    1 bunch asparagus, bottom 1 inch trimmed
    cooking spray
    sea salt to taste
    Pancetta-Wrapped Haddock:
    4 6-ounce haddock fillets
    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
    1/2 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
    12 thin slices pancetta bacon, or as needed - divided
    2/3 cup white wine
    1 tablespoon warm water, or as needed
Preparation
    Combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, and garlic in a bowl; refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to blend flavors.
    Move an oven rack into the middle of oven and place another rack into top third; preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
    Lay asparagus spears in a row onto a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray; sprinkle with sea salt.
    Drizzle haddock fillets with olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper and rosemary. Wrap each fillet loosely with 3 slices pancetta bacon, wrapping bacon so that ends meet over skinned side of fillets. Place fillets into a 9x13-inch baking dish with bacon ends on the bottom. Pour white wine around the fillets.
    Place fish onto lower rack of preheated oven and bake for 7 minutes. Place asparagus onto upper rack of oven. Continue baking until pancetta is browned, fish is opaque and flakes easily, and asparagus are lightly browned on the tips, 7 to 8 more minutes.
    Stir warm water into lemon aioli sauce until sauce is pourable; pour about 2 tablespoons sauce onto each of 4 serving dishes. Arrange haddock fillets onto sauce and spread 1/4 of the roasted asparagus in a fan shape next to each fillet.
