Roasted Monkfish!


Simple.  Quick.  Delicious.
<Preheat oven to 475>

You will need:
2 Monkfish fillets (around 1/2 pound each)
Paprika
Dijon mustard
Kosher salt & ground black pepper
1-2 tbsp olive oil
Taz wants it even before it is cooked!
Season the fish with salt and pepper - then a generous amount of paprika.
Smear a coating of dijon all over the fish.
Heat a skillet over a medium-high flame for a few minutes with about 1-2 tbsp olive oi.  Add the fish and turn after about 1-2 minutes.  Finish in the oven for about 15 minutes.
Yum!  Looks good!!
Easy dinner with some green beans and roasted potatoes.
I think monkfish is sometimes known as "poor man's lobster!"  It has such a firm, great consistency like lobster tail!  This is so so so easy and will impress any guest at a dinner party.
