SEARED MONKFISH WITH BALSAMIC AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES
I was recently introduced to monkfish (sold as "monkfish tail" in fish markets) and it has become a new favorite of mine. It's often called "poor man's lobster" because its firm flesh and delicate, slightly sweet flavor are similar to lobster. Served with a balsamic, garlic, and sun-dried tomato topping, this recipe comes together in a snap.

Steps:
- Combine sun-dried tomatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, balsamic vinegar, tomato oil, garlic, and sugar in a small bowl. Toss to coat and set aside.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the purple translucent membrane away from each fillet. Cut each fillet crosswise into 3 to 4 pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear monkfish until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes more. Reduce heat to low, remove fish to a plate, and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Pour sun-dried tomato mixture into the skillet and quickly stir around the pan until just warmed, about 20 seconds. Spoon topping over fish and garnish with parsley.

Steps:
- Slice monkfish into medallions about one-inch thick. Place in a dish, sprinkle with lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat one tablespoon of oil in heavy skillet, add bread crumbs and saute until they are golden. Remove from pan and wipe out pan.
- Heat another two tablespoons of the olive oil in the skillet. Add onion and saute over medium heat until tender. Add garlic and saute briefly, then add tomatoes. Stir tomatoes in with other ingredients for a minute or two, just enough to warm them without cooking them through. Remove vegetables from pan.
- Add one more tablespoon of the oil to pan and cook the monkfish over medium heat, about three minutes on each side, until just cooked through. The monkfish will probably not take on any color. Arrange monkfish medallions on a warm platter or on individual plates.
- Return tomato mixture to skillet, add remaining two tablespoons of oil, stir, season with salt and pepper and add basil. Pour this mixture around the medallions of fish. Sprinkle the fish with the bread crumbs and serve.

- Cut the monkfish into fairly thick slices. Remove the central bone with a knife, being careful to remove any skin residues too. Then cut the monkfish fillets into pieces of about 2 cm (1 inch) and keep aside.
- In a large frying pan sauté the 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and left whole, in 6 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Add the cherry tomatoes – washed and cut in half – and some fresh parsley leaves finely chopped. Stir then add a pinch of fine salt to taste, cover with the lid and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes.
- Now remove the garlic and add the monkfish previously cut into pieces. Keep cooking for another 5 minutes so as to cook the fish as well.
- Meanwhile, boil plenty of water (about 2 liters) in a pot, for the pasta. When it boils, add a tablespoon of coarse salt. Add the pasta (we opted for spaghetti) and cook following the cooking times indicated on the package. Usually it goes from 8 to 12 minutes.
