Steps

  • Heat a frying pan and sweat the chopped onions in olive oil until soft.

  • Preheat the oven to 190°C.
  • Remove the bone from the monkfish tails while leaving 5cm attached at the end.
  • Season the fish and spread the herb-pepper mix inside the tails.
  • Close the fish tails to sandwich the filling inside.
  • Wrap each tail tightly in four slices of prosciutto and chill for one hour.
  • Sear the wrapped fish in a hot frying pan with olive oil until browned on all sides.
  • Roast in the oven for 15 minutes and serve.
