ROASTED MONKFISH

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.

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.

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.

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.

Categories     Fish     Ginger     Mushroom     Onion     Roast     Dinner     Leek     Port     Winter     Gourmet     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 medium leeks (about 1 pound, white and pale green parts only), cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
3 small boiling potatoes (about 3/4 pound total)
1 large garlic clove
a 1-inch piece peeled fresh gingerroot
a 1 3/4-pound piece monkfish fillet cut in half crosswise or two smaller fillets (1 3/4 pounds total), any membrane and any dark meat cut away
1/2 pound fresh chanterelle mushrooms*, cleaned with a pastry brush or a dampened kitchen towel, stem ends trimmed and large mushrooms halved
3 tablespoons warm clarified butter (recipe follows)
freshly ground white pepper
2 tablespoons Tawny Port
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Garnish: fresh chives, cut into 1-inch pieces
For clarified butter
unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
*available at specialty produce shops

Steps:

  • Clarify butter:
  • In a heavy saucepan melt butter over low heat. Remove pan from heat and let butter stand 3 minutes. Skim froth and strain butter through a sieve lined with a double thickness of rinsed and squeezed cheesecloth into a bowl, leaving milky solids in bottom of pan. Pour clarified butter into a jar or crock and chill, covered. Butter keeps, covered and chilled, indefinitely. When clarified, butter loses about one fourth its original volume.
  • Roast monkfish:
  • Preheat oven to 475°F.
  • In a large bowl of water soak leeks 10 minutes, agitating occasionally to dislodge any sand and letting sand sink to bottom of bowl. Lift leeks out of water with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • Peel potatoes and trim if necessary to match diameter of leeks. Cut potatoes crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. In a saucepan of boiling water blanch potatoes 5 minutes and drain.
  • Cut half of garlic clove into several slivers and finely chop remaining half. Cut half of gingerroot into several slivers and finely chop remaining half. With a paring knife make several shallow slits in monkfish and insert a sliver of garlic and gingerroot into each.
  • Heat a flameproof roasting pan, 13 by 9 by 2 inches, in oven 10 minutes. In heated pan toss together leeks, potatoes, mushrooms, chopped garlic and ginger, salt and pepper to taste, and 2 tablespoons clarified butter. Roast vegetables in middle of oven 15 minutes.
  • Heat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over moderately high heat. Pat fish dry and season with white pepper and salt. Add remaining tablespoon butter to skillet and brown fish about 2 minutes on each side. With a slotted spatula transfer fish to a plate. To skillet add Port and soy sauce and on top of stove deglaze over moderately high heat, scraping up any brown bits, 30 seconds. Pour liquid over roasted vegetables, tossing to coat, and arrange fish on top. Roast fish and vegetables in middle of oven 15 to 18 minutes, or until fish is just cooked through (fish will be firm rather than flaky).
  • Garnish fish with chives. Cut fish crosswise into slices and serve with vegetables.

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.

  • Roast the monkfish in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. It should flake easily with a fork when ready.
  • While the monkfish is roasting, make the rouille. This classic Provençal sauce is made with mayonnaise, garlic, saffron, and chili peppers. It is served on top of the roasted monkfish.
  • Garnish the roasted monkfish with chopped parsley or chives before serving.

Conclusion:

Roasted monkfish with rouille is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The fish is tender and flaky, while the rouille is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
