I Love Monkfish (Lomo de Rape)

The title of this post should actually be "I Love Rape"; because 'Rape' is the Spanish word for 'Monkfish'; but it doesn't scan well in English. Might be misunderstood.

Recipe:
- Oven at 200 C (400F)

  • 550 gr lomo (strip/fillet) of monkfish (1+ Lb)
  • 2 shallots (sliced superfine)
  • 1/2 head of broccoli (chunked into flowerettes)

Procedure:
  • Place monkfish in oven pan
  • Place broccoli flowerettes next to fish
  • Sprinkle chunky salt over broccoli
  • Drizzle olive oil over broccoli
  • Sprinkle shallots over fish

  • Stick in oven for 15 minutes
  • Then, cover broccoli with aluminum foil

  • Continue cooking for another 15 minutes

At this point the internal temperature of the Rape is 60C

Stop, remove everything from the oven. Eat.

Me, this is what I had for dinner tonight. Simple. Dead simple.
