Ingredients
- 2pounds monkfish on the bone, head and skin removed
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- ½cup olive oil
- 1carrot, cut in ¼-inch cubes
- 1onion, coarsely chopped
- 5cloves garlic, unpeeled
- 1cup dry white wine
- ½cup fish broth (see recipe)
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Step 2
Season fish with salt and pepper.
- Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet. Over high heat, cook one side of the fish until golden brown, about 1 minute. Turn, and brown the second side. Add carrot, onion, garlic, wine and fish broth, and simmer 2 to 3 minutes.
- Step 4
Transfer the contents of the skillet to an oven-proof baking dish, and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Roast for 5 minutes. Remove the fish to a serving platter and keep warm.
- Step 5
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, boil the cooking liquid and vegetables over high heat until reduced by half. Stir in the remaining olive oil to bind the sauce.
- Step 6
Spoon the sauce and vegetables over the fish, and serve with mashed potatoes.

Delicious. Although I'm not sure why the whole thing has to be transferred to a new pan to bake when it can simmer on the stove top, which is what I did.
I made this with fillets rather than on the bone and it came out very well. I'd just note that it took considerably more than one minute to brown a side.
