SEARED MONKFISH WITH BALSAMIC AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES
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.

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.

Steps:
- Slice monkfish into medallions about one-inch thick. Place in a dish, sprinkle with lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat one tablespoon of oil in heavy skillet, add bread crumbs and saute until they are golden. Remove from pan and wipe out pan.
- Heat another two tablespoons of the olive oil in the skillet. Add onion and saute over medium heat until tender. Add garlic and saute briefly, then add tomatoes. Stir tomatoes in with other ingredients for a minute or two, just enough to warm them without cooking them through. Remove vegetables from pan.
- Add one more tablespoon of the oil to pan and cook the monkfish over medium heat, about three minutes on each side, until just cooked through. The monkfish will probably not take on any color. Arrange monkfish medallions on a warm platter or on individual plates.
- Return tomato mixture to skillet, add remaining two tablespoons of oil, stir, season with salt and pepper and add basil. Pour this mixture around the medallions of fish. Sprinkle the fish with the bread crumbs and serve.

MONKFISH ROASTED WITH HERBS AND OLIVES
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.

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.

From insanelygoodrecipes.com
5/5 (3)Published Jun 28, 2022Category Recipe Roundup, Seafood
- Poor Man’s Lobster. Because of its texture, monkfish is often called “poor man’s lobster.” It’s less expensive than lobster and is very similar in taste and appearance.
- Monkfish in Tomato Garlic Sauce. This recipe really showcases the monkfish while still enhancing it with a delicious sauce. Cook the monkfish with salt and pepper and let the tomato garlic sauce do the rest of the work.
- Monkfish with Lemon Butter Sauce. I love lemon on fish and I love butter on, well, pretty much everything. This pan-seared monkfish is flavored with simple ingredients but it’s still so tasty!
- Catalan Monkfish. This dish originates from a part of Spain called Catalonia. This is where Spain and France meet on the Mediterranean side. The sauce is a really important part of this dish.
- Baked Monkfish with Lemon, Rosemary, and Breadcrumbs. Since monkfish is a really firm fish, it can stand up to a crispy topping like this recipe. The breadcrumbs are flavored with lemon juice, rosemary, and garlic.
- Spiced Monkfish. This recipe is full of strong flavors that pack a punch. Ginger, saffron, and curry seasoning are an exquisite blend of spices. Monkfish is a really good fish for them because of its meaty texture and naturally sweet flavor.
- Roast Monkfish with Lemon and Parsley Butter. Monkfish really lends itself to different cooking methods due to its firm and meaty texture. I love when meat is pan-seared and then finished in the oven.
- Grilled Monkfish with Roasted Pepper. Not all fish can be grilled because they fall apart easily, but monkfish can easily stand up to a grill. Grilled peppers and onions also play a big role in this recipe.
- Pan-Seared Monkfish with White Wine Garlic Sauce. I love this white wine garlic sauce and monkfish recipe. The sauce is absolutely heavenly. Monkfish is pan-seared with salt, pepper, and olive oil.
- Monkfish and Chips with Remoulade. Any time I have a hearty, firm fish like monkfish, I debate making fish and chips. It does really well in the fryer because of its meaty texture.
