From the Cornish Seas to your Plate: Recipes for Monkfish

Monkfish Wrapped in Bacon

A classic combination pairing the sweet meaty texture of fresh Cornish monkfish with salty bacon.

Goes really well with a range of sides

500g monkfish fillets, cut into chunks

8 slices of streaky bacon

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley to garnish

And here’s how to do it…

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the monkfish chunks with salt and pepper.
Wrap each monkfish chunk with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the wrapped monkfish to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bacon is crispy.
Transfer the monkfish to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the fish is cooked through.
Serve the monkfish wrapped in bacon hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
