Pan-Seared Monkfish Steaks with Creamy Green Peppercorn Sauce

Ingredients for 4 people
  • 600 g monkfish fillet (cut into 4 steaks)
  • 25 cl dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons green pepper
  • 30 cl thick cream
  • 3 shallots
  • 40 g butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • Salt
Preparation
  • Preparation time: 20 minutes
  • Cooking time: 20 minutes

Difficulty: Intermediate

Lightly dust the monkfish steaks with flour.

Heat 20 g of butter in a large frying pan. Once foaming, sear the fish on both sides until golden. Remove, drain on a plate, and set aside.

Rinse the pan. Peel and finely chop the shallots. Melt the remaining butter, add the shallots, and sauté gently. Pour in the white wine and green pepper, simmering to reduce by half.

Stir in the cream and salt, then boil for 2 minutes. Return the monkfish to the pan, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.

Serve hot with tagliatelle.
