MONKFISH ROASTED WITH HERBS AND OLIVES
Firm-fleshed fish can be described as "meaty" - monkfish fits this category - and are often best roasted in a hot oven. Tart lemon slices, aromatic herbs and olives enhance and complement that meatiness, just as they would roast lamb or chicken. A smear of rustic zesty black olive paste is the perfect condiment to complete this simple dish. Use whatever kind of olives appeal to you. At most supermarket self-serve olive bars you can combine 3 or 4 types in one container. I prefer a mixture of green and black whole olives with pits to roast with the fish. For the olive paste, pitted black olives are ideal. But it's fine to use just one type of olive, of course, and go pit-free throughout - it is a forgiving, malleable sort of recipe. To that end, if monkfish is unavailable, consider halibut, swordfish, grouper, sea bass or snapper.

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.
ROASTED MONKFISH WITH POTATOES, OLIVES AND BAY LEAVES
A great dish from simple ingredients. It's worth splurging a bit on the quality and quantity of the olive oil. And for this dish, don't use heavily cured or marinated olives--the little oil cured ones are great. Any firm-fleshed fish will work.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Peel and thinly slice the potatoes (a mandoline is great for this).
- Cover the bottom of a 9x12-inch baking dish with half the olive oil, and top with the potatoes in a single layer (they can overlap a little).
- Season with salt and pepper and top with the bay leaves and remaining oil.
- Roast for ten minutes, turn the pan back to front, and roast ten minutes more (by now the potatoes should be browning--if not, give them another minute or two).
- Top the potatoes with the olives and lay the fish on top, sprinkling it with salt and pepper.
- Roast the dish for an additional ten minutes or until the fish is tender but not overcooked.
- Serve immediately.
