Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 small fennel bulb (sometimes called anise) with fronds
1 (4- to 5-inch-long) fresh red chile, chopped, including seeds
2 scallions, finely chopped
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2/3 cup Chardonnay or other dry white wine
8 (1/4-lb) pieces monkfish fillet (about 1 1/2 inches thick), trimmed of all membranes
1/4 lb feta (preferably Greek), crumbled

Steps:

  • Cut stalks from fennel bulb and reserve 4 fronds for garnish, then discard stalks. Halve bulb lengthwise, core, and thinly slice crosswise.
  • Sauté fennel, chile, and scallions in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until fennel begins to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Add wine and bring to a boil.
  • Season fish with salt and pepper and add to fennel mixture. Cook, covered, over high heat until fish is just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove lid and sprinkle feta over fish and cooking liquid, then cook, swirling skillet frequently, just until cheese is melted and sauce is creamy, 1 to 2 minutes (do not let boil). Serve fish immediately, with sauce spooned over it. Garnish with fennel fronds.

I've made this dish several times and it's always a hit. The monkfish is always cooked perfectly and the sauce is amazing. I love serving this dish with rice or potatoes.

The sauce was a bit too salty for my taste, but the monkfish was cooked perfectly. I would make this dish again, but I would use less salt in the sauce.

This dish was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if the monkfish had been marinated in something before cooking.
