Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas 6). Sit the monkfish fillets in a roasting tin, and drizzle over a little olive oil. Season well with salt and black pepper, and set aside.


  2. 2

    Using a mortar and pestle, pound together the chillies, anchovies, and capers until they become a paste. Alternatively, squash into a paste with a fork. Using your hands, smother the monkfish with the paste.


  3. 3

    Put the fish in a roasting tin, and cook in the oven for about 10 minutes. Throw in the tomatoes, and roast for a further 5–10 minutes until the fish is cooked through.


  4. 4

    Leave to rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve immediately with either a green salad or baby roast potatoes.
