A stunningly fragrant and different way to serve monkfish. Pescatarians can use can use foil picking it off before serving
4 monkfish tails, skinned
1 medium sized courgette, finely grated
2.5cm cube fresh ginger, finely chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh coriander
Half a hot chilli, deseeded and very finely chopped
1 lime juiced.
Combine coriander, ginger, chilli, courgette and lime juice
Leave mix to sit for 10 minutes
Remove backbone from monkfish tails carefully, leaving a gap down the middle of each
Lay 2 slices or foil on your work surface. Lay a fish tail across it, and carefully spoon a generous amount of the courgette mix. Then tightly roll the fish in the foil.
Pack the tails into a baking dish just big enough to fit them. Pack the remaining space with any left over stuffing
Set oven to 170C
Bake for 15–20 minutes until the fish is just cooked.
When cooked, strain juices off to use on table as sauce
Allow 5 minutes resting time
It works wonderfully with diced roasted butternut squash and steamed green beans
