Monkfish Medallions with Dijon Caper Sauce

Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb monkfish cut into 1/2-inch thick medallions
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon shallots finely minced
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons drained capers
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon minced tarragon leaves

Instructions

  • Cut your monkfish into 1/2 inch medallions. Remove any gray membrane from the fish. Place flour in a baggie large enough for the fish.
  • Melt the butter in a small skillet. Add the shallots and garlic and cook on medium until both the butter and shallots have lightly browned and acquired a nutty aroma. Stir in capers, tarragon, lemon juice, and chicken broth until just warmed and remove from stove. Set aside.
  • Place fish into baggie and shake around till fish is covered. Heat olive oil over medium heat. Add coated monkfish medallions and cook approximately 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Briefly warm the sauce. Divide the monkfish between two plates and drizzle with sauce.
