Ingredients

Instructions

1. Cut each monkfish into 3 or 4 pieces of even size.
2. Season both sides of the fish with the salt and black pepper.
3. Set a rack over a tray if you want a place to rest the fish later (optional).
4. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat (medium-high on a weak stove).
5. Put the thickest pieces of fish in the pan first. After 1 minute, add the thinner pieces. Cook 2 more minutes, then flip the fish.
6. Add the butter to the pan. Once it begins to melt, add the garlic and thyme. When the butter foams, tilt the pan and spoon butter over the fish for 2 minutes, or until the fish reaches 55°C/131°F inside or flakes easily. The butter will smell nutty and turn brown.
7. Move the fish to the rack and rest it for 3 minutes.
8. Add the parsley, chives and chervil to the butter left in the pan. Serve the herb brown butter with the monkfish.
