Monkfish, with its tender, springy bite reminiscent of lobster, is firm and sweet enough to stand up to this lemony butter sauce enriched with white miso. Plenty of briny capers and caperberries help cut through the richness.
Monkfish
Monkfish is sometimes called “poor man’s lobster” because of its sweet, firm white flesh, but don’t think that it’s a second choice ingredient. Chefs love monkfish because it’s so versatile: it can be threaded onto skewers and grilled on kebabs without falling apart, but monkfish can also be lightly poached in a flavorful broth or roasted with vegetables.

Chef WayThis is Daniel Boulud's take on Wiener schnitzel, a breaded and fried veal cutlet. He lightens the dish by making it with thinly pounded monkfish fillets, breaded on only one side. He serves it with a mix of asparagus, zucchini and butternut squash.Easy WayInstead of pounding monkfish thinly, slice the fillets thinly. Serve them with asparagus—no zucchini or squash.More Recipes From Daniel Boulud
