Monkfish is tricky: fragile flesh, sticky skin to remove cleanly, a central bone that snaps if you push too hard. Here we marinate it twenty minutes in grapefruit juice before searing just two minutes per side. The acidity keeps the flesh white and firm.
Ingredients for 4 servings
- 4 Tails of small monkfish from small boats weighing approximately 8.75 oz (250 g) each
- 10.5 oz (300 g) of Swiss chard greens well cleaned just blanched and refreshed and lightly chopped
- 2.1 oz (60 g) of Bayonne ham cut into thin slices
- 1 small glass of organic grapefruit juice
- olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of hazelnut oil
- chopped chervil
- liquid cream
- salt and ground pepper
