Provided by A la Carte

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup fresh marjoram
1/4 cup thyme
1/4 cup basil
12 ounces monkfish fillets (ask fishmonger to remove the membranes)
6 slices prosciutto
2 roasted red peppers (from jar is fine)

Steps:

  • Saute onion in 2 T of the olive oil until soft. When soft add in the fresh herbs and saute until wilted.
  • Meanwhile Preheat oven to 190°C Rinse fish and pat dry. I then "butterflied" the fish the best I could to make it a bit flatter.
  • Season fish with salt and pep.
  • Lay the prosciutto slices vertically and slightly overlapping on a roasting tin, then put one of the monkfish fillets across, cut side up. Arrange the peppers and the herb mix on top of the fish. Then put the other fillet on top (cut side down), to make a parcel. Wrap the prosciutto around the fish, covering it completely.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 30 minutes.

MONKFISH IN HERBES DE PROVENCE MARINADE

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h17m

Yield 8 skewers

Number Of Ingredients 8

14 ounces/400 g monkfish, cut into cubes
1 tablespoons herbes de Provence
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup/60 ml olive oil
1/4 cup/60 ml white wine
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 lemons, 1 sliced into half moons, 1 cut into wedges
Special equipment: wooden skewers soaked in water for several hours.

Steps:

  • Cut the fish into cubes. Stir together the herbes de Provence, garlic, olive oil, and wine. Toss with the fish in a glass bowl, and refrigerate to marinate at least an hour.
  • Cook's Note: At the same time, if you are using wooden skewers, be sure to cover them in cold water and leave to soak several hours. This will prevent them from bursting into flames on the grill.
  • Preheat a grill. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Slide 3 cubes on each skewer, placing a thin half moon of lemon between each cube. Grill, turning frequently, until the fish is just opaque. Serve with lemon wedges, for squeezing.

MONKFISH ROASTED WITH HERBS AND OLIVES



Monkfish Roasted With Herbs and Olives image

Firm-fleshed fish can be described as "meaty" - monkfish fits this category - and are often best roasted in a hot oven. Tart lemon slices, aromatic herbs and olives enhance and complement that meatiness, just as they would roast lamb or chicken. A smear of rustic zesty black olive paste is the perfect condiment to complete this simple dish. Use whatever kind of olives appeal to you. At most supermarket self-serve olive bars you can combine 3 or 4 types in one container. I prefer a mixture of green and black whole olives with pits to roast with the fish. For the olive paste, pitted black olives are ideal. But it's fine to use just one type of olive, of course, and go pit-free throughout - it is a forgiving, malleable sort of recipe. To that end, if monkfish is unavailable, consider halibut, swordfish, grouper, sea bass or snapper.

Categories     dinner, seafood, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds monkfish fillet, preferably in 1 or 2 large pieces (or use halibut, swordfish, grouper, sea bass or snapper)
Salt and pepper
Thyme sprigs
Rosemary sprigs
A few fresh bay leaves (optional)
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 small lemon, thinly sliced
12 whole black or green olives, pitted if desired
1/4 cup pitted black olives, such as niçoise, Gaeta or kalamata
1 small garlic clove, peeled and minced

Steps:

  • Tie the monkfish fillets with butcher's twine at 2-inch intervals. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Line the bottom of an earthenware or other low-sided baking dish with thyme and rosemary sprigs. Tuck bay leaves here and there, if using. Lay the fish on top of the herbs and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Scatter the lemon slices and whole olives over fish. Set aside for 30 minutes to marinate. Heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, make the olive paste: Put pitted black olives, garlic and 1/4 cup olive oil in a small food processor and pulse to a rough paste. (Alternatively, chop olives finely with a knife and stir together with garlic and oil.)
  • Roast fish, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned on top and firm to the touch. Check with a paring knife to be sure fish is cooked through. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Snip twine with scissors and remove from fish. Cut fish into 4 portions and spoon some of the roasted lemon slices and whole olives over the top. Dab each piece with a teaspoon of olive paste, or pass olive paste separately.

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.

Provided by France C

Categories     Seafood     Fish

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

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.

ROASTED MONKFISH



Roasted Monkfish image

Moderately firm-textured monkfish is just sturdy enough to stand up to a very hot oven. Other fish, such as mahi mahi, halibut, and grouper, can be used here too.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds monkfish, cut into 4 pieces
1/4 cup dry white wine or dry vermouth
2 cups Chunky Cipolline Tomato Compote
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the monkfish, shaking the pan as you add the fish to prevent sticking. Sear the fish on one side until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the oven and roast until opaque and firm to the touch, about 8 minutes.
  • Transfer the fish to a warm plate and set aside. Place the skillet over medium heat and add the wine or vermouth and 1/4 cup water, scraping the browned bits from the pan. Add the Chunky Cipolline Tomato Compote to the skillet and cook until heated through.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon the compote among 4 dinner plates, arrange a piece of the monkfish over the compote, and serve.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 3/4 to 3 pounds monkfish fillets (about 5), well trimmed
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon (packed) crushed saffron threads
Fennel-Saffron Compote

Roast until fish feels firm to touch and is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Spoon Fennel-Saffron Compote onto plates. Slice fish on diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick medallions. Arrange atop compote.

Tips:

  • If you can't find monkfish, you can substitute another firm-fleshed white fish, such as cod, haddock, or halibut.
  • To make sure the prosciutto is crispy, cook it over medium-high heat until it is browned and slightly charred.
  • Be careful not to overcook the monkfish. It should be cooked through, but still moist and flaky.
  • Serve the roasted monkfish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
