Monkfish In Parchment With Wine Lemon And Herbs Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Prehea oven to 350. Put the fillets in a mixing bowl, and add the parsley, garlic, rosemary, oil, wine, salt and pepper. Stir well.
• Trim off the root end of each leek. Split the leeks partly in half lengthwise, cutting to within an inch of the base. Rinse between each layer to wash away any sand. Cut the leeks crosswise into 2 1/2-inch lengths. Cut these pieces lengthwise into very thin julienne strips. There should be about 2 cups.
• Lay out a length of parchment paper or aluminum foil, measuring about 30 inches by 15 inches, on a baking sheet. Place the fish pieces and their sauce in the center of the paper or foil. Top the fish with the leeks. Fold over the edges of the paper or foil compactly, and seal the sides as tightly as possible. Place the baking sheet in the oven, and bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until the bag is well-puffed.
• Carefully open the bag - beware of the steam - and garnish the top of the dish with mussels, if desired.

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:

• Place the monkfish in a bowl with the lemongrass, lime leaves, lemon thyme and olive oil. Cover and chill for 6 hrs to marinate.
• Meanwhile, make the lemon dressing. Chop the strips of lemon zest into small dice and tip into a pan of boiling water. Bring back to the boil, then drain. In a small saucepan, cook the blanched lemon zest with the sugar in 140ml water for about 5 mins. Drain the lemon zest and mix together with the remaining ingredients and 2 tbsp water. Taste and season, if you like.
• About 20 mins before you're ready to eat, remove the monkfish from the marinade and lightly season. Heat some olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and fry the monkfish medallions for 4 mins on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pan and allow to rest in a warm place for 4 mins. To serve, gently warm the dressing, adding more water if needed. Spoon it over the monkfish and around the plate, then scatter with rocket leaves.

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:

• Preheat oven to 400 lightly oil a 9" x 12" baking dish. Lay out 4 sheets of parchment paper. Cut monkfish into 4 equal parts and lay each on a sheet of parchment. Sprinkle with soy sauce, green onions, lemon juice, chives, parsley and wine. Bring edges of parchment together and roll to seal on all sides. Place packets seam side down in baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes. To serve, unroll parchment packets and place fish on platter. Spoon cooking liquid and herbs over top.
