Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 monkfish fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • Fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Pat the monkfish fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Add the monkfish fillets to the skillet and sear on one side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Flip the fillets over and place lemon slices on top. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the monkfish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

  • Monkfish has a firm texture and mild flavor that pairs well with a variety of seasonings and sauces.
  • Be careful not to overcook the monkfish fillets, as they can become tough and dry.
