Baked Monkfish

Recipe from: Fishermen Feeding Mainers

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound Monkfish Fillets
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 4 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 4 Tablespoons Broth Or white wine vinegar or water
  • 2 Tablespoons Parsley Optional, stems removed; or 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 6 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Small Bowl

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with tinfoil or coat with cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, garlic, broth, and parsley.
  • Place fish in pan. Score small slits along its width. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Drizzle each fillet with olive oil.
  • Pour the lemon juice mixture over the fish.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, and spoon juices over fish (this helps get all those food flavors saturated nicely into the fish!)
  • Bake for another 3-5 minutes.

Notes

  • Cooking times vary depending on the size of your fillet(s). Fish should flake apart easily and be a nice white opaque color.
