Grilled Monkfish Brochettes With Orange Butter Sauce Food

GRILLED MONKFISH BROCHETTES WITH ORANGE-BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Place 6 pieces of monkfish on a skewer, alternating with slices of red and yellow bell peppers. Continue until all fish and peppers are used. Set aside.
• Dice the tomatoes. You should have about 3/4 cup. In a saucepan, combine the orange juice, scallions, salt and pepper. Reduce by half over the grill, about 10 minutes. Add the butter, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Mix well. When the butter is melted, set aside in a warm spot while you cook the brochettes.
• Coat the brochettes with oil and place them over the grill. Cook until done, about 15 minutes, turning occasionally. Place brochettes on serving plates, pour the sauce over them and garnish with fresh cilantro.

MONKFISH WITH CAPER BUTTER

Steps:

• Remove any gray membrane from the fish. Mix flour and mustard together and season with salt and pepper. Dip the fish slices in seasoned flour on one side only and arrange on a plate, floured side up.
• Melt the butter in a small skillet. Add the shallots and cook on medium until both the butter and shallots have browned and acquired a nutty aroma. Do not allow them to blacken. Remove from heat, stir in capers, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Warm 6 dinner plates or a platter. Heat olive oil in a large skillet, preferably cast iron. When very hot, add the fish medallions, floured side down, and sauté until they turn golden, no more than a minute or so. Transfer them, cooked side up, to the plates or platter.
• Briefly warm the caper sauce. Add the lemon juice and tarragon and spoon a little of the sauce over each medallion. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve.

MONKFISH IN LEMON BUTTER WINE SAUCE

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.
