Monkfishwithlemonparsleysauce Recipes

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut them lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide sticks. Place in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
• Heat the oil in a large, deep pot over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 325 degrees F.
• Remove the potatoes to paper towels and dry well. Working in batches, fry the potatoes until cooked through and tender but not yet colored, 4 to 5 minutes. Be sure the potatoes have plenty of room and gently swish them around as they are frying. Drain on a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and increase the temperature of the cooking oil to 375 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, seafood boil seasoning, baking soda and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and gently stir in the cold beer. Mix until just combined.
• When the oil is at temperature, dip the monkfish fillets in the batter, coating the fish generously. To add the fish to the oil, carefully dip about one-third to one-half of a fillet into the oil and allow the batter to start puffing up before gently sliding it in. In batches, fry the fillets until golden brown and crispy, turning once, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels to blot the excess oil. Arrange the fish on a baking sheet lined with a cooling rack and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.
• Again working in batches, fry the potatoes a second time, at 375 degrees F, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and immediately toss with kosher salt.
• Transfer the fish to a platter and serve with the fries and remoulade.
• Combine the mayonnaise, cornichons, mustard, malt vinegar, celery salt, cayenne and shallots in a bowl. Season with salt, if needed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Steps:

• Cover broiling pan (at least 1/4" deep) with foil. Heat broiler to Low.
• Place Monkfish Fillets in pan & season with salt & pepper.
• Slice sticks of butter in 1/8" pieces & lay on top of fish.
• Sprinkle lemon & wine over fish.
• Sprinkle fish with parsley.
• Place in broiler for aprox. 15 to 30 min (I am not sure of the time as I was not paying that much attention to it). I just checked the fish every few minute & took out of oven when fish started to flake.

Steps:

• In a resealable plastic bag, mix the salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning, and flour. Place the monkfish in the bag, seal, and shake to lightly coat.
• Heat the oil and melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the monkfish in the skillet, and cook for about 3 minutes. Mix in the garlic, tomato, and mushrooms, and continue cooking 3 minutes. Mix in the wine and parsley. Continue to cook and stir 2 minutes, or until the monkfish flakes easily with a fork.

Steps:

• Slice monkfish into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
• With the side of a chef's knife, flatten each piece to about 1/4 inch thick.
• Place flour in a shallow pan.
• Season fish with salt and pepper; dredge lightly in flour.
• Discard any remaining flour.
• In a large skillet, heat 1/2 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat.
• Add fish and cook until golden outside and opaque inside, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
• Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to the skillet.
• Add shallot and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute.
• Add wine and lemon juice.
• Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits.
• Cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 4 minutes.
• Remove from heat and whisk in sour cream, chopped parsley, lemon zest and any accumulated juices from the fish.
• Gently heat through.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange monkfish on plates and spoon sauce over.
• Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley sprigs and serve.

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.

Steps:

• Cut monkfish into 8 pieces.
• Dredge in flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
• Heat skillet over medium heat; add 4 tablespoons butter.
• Sauté fish in melted 1 minute on each side, till nicely browned.
• Remove from skillet.
• Add wine, lemon and parsley to skillet and reduce by half.
• Add 3 tablespoons butter to lemon mixture, shake skillet.
• Serve over fish.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, thyme, orange zest, and olive oil. Add red wine and mix well. Place in plastic bag with monkfish, seal and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the butter in a nonstick pan. Add the garlic and saute in butter until lightly golden. Add mushrooms and cook until the water has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper and cool.
• With an apple corer, make a hole lengthwise through the potato saving the core. Fill the potato with enough mushroom filling to pack the inside of the potato. Cut the ends of the cores off and use as caps to seal off the ends of the potato. Rub olive oil, salt and pepper on the potatoes. Wrap in foil and bake for 45 minutes.
• Prepare sauce by reducing red wine, balsamic vinegar, shallots, and bay leaf until lightly thickened. Add the veal stock and bring to a simmer. Strain, whisk in cold butter and season with salt and pepper.
• Remove fish from the marinade. Pat dry and season with salt. In a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons olive oil until very hot over high heat. Add fish and brown on all sides. Finish cooking in the oven until fish is cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes
• Saute spinach with olive oil in a large pan until wilted and season with salt and pepper.
• Place the spinach in piles in the center of 2 large plates. Place the fish around the spinach at the12 and 6 o'clock positions. Cut potatoes on the bias trimming the ends to lay flat and place at 9 and 3 o'clock positions. Pour the wine sauce over the fish and serve.

Steps:

• Prepare the sauce: Combine heavy cream with garlic and anchovies. Boil this down until it gets thick--approximately 1 hour. (If it seems too thick, thin it out with water, chicken stock or more cream.)
• Cut the fillet into scallops and salt evenly on both sides. Allow them to sit for a half hour so that they will drain. After a half hour, dry off the liquid and brush off salt. Nick all around the edges of the fillets with a sharp knife. This allows the fillets to stay flat and cook more evenly.
• Heat the clarified butter in a saute pan. Coat fillets with instant or granulated flour, and then saute in clarified butter. The fillets should develop a crunch on the outside.
• Lightly steam the spinach and place on a plate. Dry off fillets on a towel and place them on a nest of spinach.
• Combine the minced tomatoes and the sherry vinegar and place the mixture on top of the fish.
• Drizzle cream sauce on top of the tomato concasse and then drape sauce around the plate.

Steps:

• Using small sharp knife, trim all membrane and gray portions from monkfish fillets. Combine oil, garlic and saffron in large bowl. Add fish and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate, turning occasionally, at least 3 hours and up to 1 day.
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Arrange fish, with marinade still clinging, on rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. 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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to at least 450 degrees. Place a cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet inside. Put half the butter in a small saucepan, and turn the heat to medium-high. Add carrot and celery, and stir; a minute later, add onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables brown, less than 10 minutes. Be careful not to let them burn. Stir in tomato paste if you like, then broth. Bring to a boil, adjust heat and let mixture simmer about 10 minutes.
• Strain mixture, pressing on vegetables to extract their liquid, and return to medium-high heat. Bring to a boil; let boil until less than half a cup of thick liquid remains.
• Meanwhile, season fish with salt and pepper. Carefully remove hot pan from oven, and add oil; swirl to coat bottom. Add fish, and roast 5 minutes. Remove from oven, and carefully pour liquid accumulated around fish into simmering sauce; turn fish over, and return to oven for 5 minutes while bringing sauce to a boil. Reduce sauce until it is thick and syrupy and measures about 1/2 cup. When a thin-bladed knife inserted into thickest part of fish meets little resistance, remove it from oven.
• Add remaining butter to sauce, and spoon over fish to serve.
