INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 200C/gas 6.
Cut and remove 'flappy bits' from monkfish tail and blue skin. Using a very
sharp knife and with tail bone to guide knife blade, cut down either side
of tail bone and remove both fillets of monkfish. Carefully trim fillets of
all skin - this toughens during cooking. Wash fish and pat dry. Season with
salt and pepper.
Mix lemon zest, garlic, parsley, tarragon and breadcrumbs together in a
small bowl and add olive oil, stirring until breadcrumbs just bind
together.
oat monkfish fillets with crumb mixture, pressing it firmly on to fish.
Place crumbed fillets on a baking sheet or in a shallow roasting tin. Roast
in a preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes, until fish feels firm and crumbs
are crispy and golden. Rest fish in a warm place for a few minutes.
Wash spinach leaves thoroughly while fish is cooking and shake dry. Heat a
little olive oil in a large frying pan and quickly stir fry spinach for
about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Slice monkfish fillets carefully to form round medal shapes with a crispy
topping. Lay overlapping slices on a bed of spinach and serve with saffron
and tarragon sauce.
