Lemon-Poached Monkfish #Whole30

As I continue on my Whole30 Adventure, I have been asked to share some of my recipes. We've been eating a lot of seafood this week. I cook a lot of seafood anyway, but, for some reason, I've been longing for seafood with my veg-heavy plates.

Earlier this week, I picked up some monkfish filets from my fishmonger. And instead of cooking the monkfish en papillote, I decided to try poaching them. I served the monkfish with Simple Sweet Potatoes and a Tangy Slaw.

I love that this poached monkfish is delicious and on the table in less than 30 minutes. Winner!

Ingredients fillets serves 4

4 monkfish filets
water
2 T + 1 t freshly squeezed lemon juice
4 T ghee, or clarified butter
zest from 1 organic lemon
2 T fresh herbs (I used a combination of parsley and cilantro)
freshly ground salt
freshly ground pepper

Procedure

Place water, approximately 3/4" deep, in a large, flat-bottom pan. Pour in 2 T freshly squeezed lemon juice and bring to a boil. Add the monkfish filets and poach for 7 to 8 minutes - until the fish is opaque white and no longer translucent. Remove from the poaching liquid and set aside.

Melt the ghee or clarified butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in 1 t lemon juice and lemon zest. To serve, roll the poached monkfish in melted ghee and place on an individual serving plate. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. Serve immediately.

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo.

Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.
