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.

MONKFISH ALMONDINE
Steps:
- Combine the sweet paprika, smoked paprika and hot paprika, and the garlic powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper, and then sprinkle evenly, but sparingly, with the paprika mixture, and rub it in.
- Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat, and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet. When the skillet is hot, add the fish and sear on one side until dark, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the lemon zest and shallots to the skillet. Flip the fish; add the butter and almonds; and cook, basting the fish using a large spoon, until the almonds brown and the fish tests tender in the center when poked with a fork or toothpick, 2 to 3 minutes. Pick out the lemon zest and discard.
- Transfer the fish, along with the shallots, almonds and some of the butter, to plates and serve right away.
MONKFISH OR OTHER FILLETS IN ALMOND SAUCE
Almonds grow abundantly in Spain-you see the trees throughout the South and easily find fresh almonds, which are a rarity here-and play an integral role in many dishes, offering a rich flavor and body to sauces. This dish is a perfect weeknight offering, but it's also a fine main course at a dinner party. I like monkfish here, but striped bass, grouper, red snapper, and black sea bass are all suitable; each will cook at slightly varying rates (the monkfish will take the most time, red snapper the least). This is wonderful over either white rice or a pilaf (page 513) or with crusty bread.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Heat half the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bread pieces and almonds and toast, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Transfer to a food processor. Add the remaining oil to the skillet and heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley and paprika, then transfer the mixture to the food processor.
- Process the mixture until coarsely ground, then, with the machine running, add the wine. Continue processing until a smooth paste is formed. Return the mixture to the skillet and stir in the stock.
- Bring the mixture to a steady simmer over medium heat and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, season the fish with salt and pepper and place in a casserole. When the sauce is cooked, season it with salt and pepper and pour over the fish.
- Put the fish in the oven and bake, uncovered, until the point of a thin-bladed knife inserted into the thickest part of the fish meets little resistance (monkfish will remain firm, but there will be a noticeable difference between underdone and done). Garnish and serve hot.
WOK-COOKED MONKFISH WITH SESAME SOY SAUCE
Fish is traditionally eaten on Chinese New Year because the Mandarin word for fish is 'Yu' and during the festival there is a phrase called 'Nian nian you yu', which translates as 'Every year you have abundance' - whether it's wealth, luck, happiness, good health or all of the above! In addition to the usual 'Gong xi fa cai' (wishing good fortune), this is a popular phrase. The Chinese serve the fish whole, as it symbolises unity and 'completeness'. When using fillets, the 'incompleteness' can be compensated for by serving uncut whole wheat noodles (uncut noodles symbolise longevity) with a soy, sesame and spring onion sauce to drizzle over the dish.

Steps:
- Heat some groundnut oil in a large wok over high heat. Add the fish to the wok, pressing lightly on the fillets as they cook. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium.
- Turn the fish over and sprinkle the garlic, ginger and chile over the fillets. Cook for a further 3 to 4 minutes, depending on the size of the fillet, until the flesh has turned opaque and flakes when poked at with a fork or a pair of chopsticks.
- Season the fish with the soy sauce and sesame oil. Add the spring onion strips and chopped cilantro and cook until the herbs have wilted slightly.
- To serve, garnish the fillets with the wilted herbs and serve immediately with the steamed vegetables or the scented rice and noodles if using.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Select a baking dish large enough to hold the monkfish fillets in one layer without crowding. Pour olive oil over the bottom. Turn the fillets in the oil to coat well all over. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brush the fillets with mustard. Scatter onions and garlic around the fillets.
- Place the baking dish on top of the stove and heat until the oil begins to sizzle. Add the white wine and scatter the mushrooms around the fillets. Bring the wine just to a simmer.
- Place the baking dish in the oven and bake 15 minutes. Baste the fillets and return to the oven. Continue baking about 5 minutes. Swirl the butter in the sauce. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

MONKFISH OR OTHER FILLETS WITH ARTICHOKES
I had this dish in Genoa, which is near Albenga, a part of Liguria best known for its artichokes. All the work is in preparing the artichokes, and the results are fantastic. In true Ligurian fashion, you might begin this meal with Pasta with White Clam Sauce (page 99) or Pansotti (page 550).

Steps:
- Trim the artichokes: Cut off their pointy tops to within 1 or 1 1/2 inches of the base; remove all but about 1/2 inch of the stem. Cut all around the artichoke, removing all of the hard parts. Open up the center and dig out the choke with a blunt-edged spoon. Trim any remaining hard parts. What's left is the artichoke bottom; cut it into 1/4-inch slices and put in water to cover; add the vinegar (this keeps the slices from becoming discolored).
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly dredge the fish fillets in the flour, then put them in the skillet. Brown quickly-no more than 2 minutes on each side-seasoning with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- Add the garlic and the drained artichokes and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice, wine, and rosemary and cook for another 5 minutes. Return the fish to the skillet and cook without turning until it is cooked through, about 5 minutes more, perhaps a little longer with monkfish (most fillets are done when the point of a thin-bladed knife inserted into the thickest part meets little resistance; monkfish will still be resilient, but far less so than when it was raw). Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve with the pan juices.
- Omit the flour. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread half the oil in a ceramic casserole or baking dish and place the fish in it. Toss the garlic and artichokes with the lemon juice and remaining oil and spoon around the fish. Top with the rosemary and wine and bake, uncovered, until the fish is cooked through and the vegetables soft, 20 to 30 minutes.
