Monkfish in Lemon Butter Wine Sauce

Description: Very Simple Monkfish Recipe. I had something similar in Venice Italy. I have been searching forever for a monkfish recipe with no luck. In fact I became rather intimidated as most sites I found info on said Monkfish was difficult to prepare. So I made this one up Myself. My Husband & children loved it. The cooking and ingredient quantities are estimated as I just threw everything together & this was the 1st time I made this.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lbs monkfish fillets (2 filets about 1-inch to 1 1/2' thick)
• 3/4 cup butter
• 3 tablespoons white wine
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

1. Cover broiling pan (at least 1/4" deep) with foil. Heat broiler to Low.
2. Place Monkfish Fillets in pan & season with salt & pepper.
3. Slice sticks of butter in 1/8" pieces & lay on top of fish.
4. Sprinkle lemon & wine over fish.
5. Sprinkle fish with parsley.
6. Place in broiler for aprox. 15 to 30 min (I am not sure of the time as I was not paying that much attention to it). I just checked the fish every few minute & took out of oven when fish started to flake.
