Roasted Monkfish With Balsamic Vinegar and Shallots
"From a newspaper that got it from "The Modern Seafood Cook" by Edward Brown and Arthur Boehm (1995)."
- Ready In:

- Serves:

ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 1⁄2 lbs monkfish fillets, in one piece
- 4 shallots, thinly sliced
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1⁄2 cup flat leaf parsley, for garnish
directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a heavy medium skillet, bring the oil to the smoking point over high heat. The oil must be very hot or the fish will stick. Add the fillet and brown it quickly on both sides. About 1 1/2 minutes total.
- Put the fillet into an oiled roasting pan and roast until it is softly resilient to the touch, about 9 minutes. Remove the fish to a warmed platter.
- Add the shallots, pepper, vinegar and honey to the roasting pan. Place the pan over low heat and deglaze it, stirring and simmering until the shallots have softened, 3-4 minutes.
- Slice the fillet into 1" pieces. Pour the sauce on top and garnish with the parsley. Serve immediately.

Didn't really care for it. It is very similar to lobster but I didn't like it with the sauce.

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
