Lots of round things showed up last night. twelve ounces of monkfish tail (the very last of it) from P.E. & D.D. Seafood Company, sliced into 1/2 inch sections, dipped, one side only, into a shallow bowl with a mix of 3 tablespoons of a local Union Square Greenmarket-purchased whole wheat flour (from the Blew …

roasted monkfish, potatoes, bay, olives; fava greens, mint
It’s one of our favorite dishes. Last night I tweeted that it was the definition of savory. I think the pictures show us why. The one below is of the potatoes just before they went into the oven, preceding the black olives and the monkfish by 20 minutes or so. twelve or 14 ounces of …
baked monkfish, tomatoes, and purple potatoes; mustards
I didn’t know what I was going to do with the monkfish tails this time until Barry suggested I roast them with the little Magic Molly fingerlings I had bought the week before. It seemed it would be a good time to use these deep purple potatoes, since their darkness doesn’t work visually with many …
monkfish roasted with potatoes, olives, bay; frizzy mustard
This is a pretty familiar entrée for us, but we never get tired of it. The greens were a little novel, but they made for a side dish almost as plain as one could be. Although I’ve served it even more simply, not introducing it to any heat, I thought that this time it would …
monkfish roasted with potatoes, olives, bay; savoy cabbage
We were entertaining guests from Berlin, one of whom hadn’t been to our apartment for dinner before, at least while we were there (we had exchanged apartments for a month). Neither meat nor pasta could be on the menu. I wanted to serve something which we would all appreciate, and which also would allow me to …
roasted monkfish with potatoes, olives, laurel; bok choy
I had thought about presenting a very different monkfish dish tonight, but it was one that would have required a bit of dexterity. For that same reason, as I was feeling a bit under the weather with a bad cold, I fell back onto an old standby that’s always pleased. Monkfish is the delicacy the …
monkfish on a bed of potatoes and olives with 13 bay leaves
In spite of its somewhat grand appearance in the picture above, it’s one of the most perfect minimal meals I know, and it’s been very popular with Barry and me for years. This time it was even more spectacular, for a reason probably related to a decision to include some habanada pepper in the mix. Monkfish is the ideal …
smoked monkfish; hare; chipotle sweet potatoes, collards
It was a very long and leisurely Thanksgiving meal, shared with good friends. The star on the table was not a roast turkey, but a braised three-and-a-half-pound Scottish hare, which was, as the fish in the first course, quite wild (one of our guests found a buckshot in his serving). There were no cranberries, although there was chutney, sweet …
roasted monkfish with potatoes, olives, bay leaves; cress
It must be early apparent by now that we love this recipe, regardless of what fish I’ve decided to include in it. It’s made many appearances on this blog, and last night it was the turn of monkfish, the species designated in the New York Times clipping which originally introduced me to it. It’s a great formula, and, more …
roast monkfish, potatoes, olives, bay, radish; tomato, cress
if I were asked to describe a savory fish dish, this would be it I’ve worked with this recipe many times, and it never misses the mark. That mark includes simple, virtually foolproof preparation, ingredients likely to be on hand, ability to remain warm, singularity, and, of course, tastiness. I think we’ve enjoyed it in warmer months, …
