SEARED MONKFISH WITH BALSAMIC AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Seared Monkfish with Balsamic and Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

I was recently introduced to monkfish (sold as "monkfish tail" in fish markets) and it has become a new favorite of mine. It's often called "poor man's lobster" because its firm flesh and delicate, slightly sweet flavor are similar to lobster. Served with a balsamic, garlic, and sun-dried tomato topping, this recipe comes together in a snap.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes with Italian herbs, drained and chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon white sugar
2 (12 ounce) monkfish tail fillets
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Steps:

Combine sun-dried tomatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, balsamic vinegar, tomato oil, garlic, and sugar in a small bowl. Toss to coat and set aside.
Use a sharp knife to cut the purple translucent membrane away from each fillet. Cut each fillet crosswise into 3 to 4 pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear monkfish until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes more. Reduce heat to low, remove fish to a plate, and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Pour sun-dried tomato mixture into the skillet and quickly stir around the pan until just warmed, about 20 seconds. Spoon topping over fish and garnish with parsley.

Tips:

To ensure the monkfish is cooked evenly, use a heavy-bottomed skillet and heat the oil over medium-high heat.
Do not overcrowd the skillet, as this will prevent the monkfish from searing properly.
Sear the monkfish for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through.
If you do not have green curry paste, you can substitute red or yellow curry paste.
The roasted corn sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
To make the roasted corn relish, use fresh corn kernels.
Garnish the monkfish with chopped cilantro or basil before serving.

This ancho-dusted pan-seared monkfish with green curry roasted corn sauce and roasted corn relish is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion.
