mmmm yes really enjoyed the texture and the flavor remained. This time there was a little milk juice but I used it to make a delicious sauce. Thanks for making monk fish taste interesting again and not like rubber. I wil make the olive sauce another time... I love Olives
I seen this recipe and it looked amazing so.... I've decided to go out , buy he ingredients and make the dish this afternoon. Wish me luck!<br /> Will let you know how it goes.
OMG the flavors were amazing, loved it loved it loved it! Luckily read comments first and used nowhere near as much salt and it was just right. I also used some delicious raspberry and rosemary infused balsamic MMmmmm just devine, its on the hit list again.
Had the potential to be superb but far, far too salty for me. Will try again at a later date using less salt and see how that goes.
One word.... AMAZING. We have made several Jamie Oliver meals all fantastic but this is a show stopper and our favorite yet, it was enjoyable to cook also. We did the roasted version using a monkfish tail, they removed the spine for us at the supermarket and removed the slimey skin.
Hi Jamie I΄m from South America - Ecuador . Here we enjoy your television program. I work in the Shrimp Industry and in all your programs . Next time when you used shrimps , we hope they are from Ecuador . <br /> regards <br /> <br /> Juan Carlos Correia
Wonderful, tasty fish!! I did not use the balsamic for olive sauce as I am allergic to some ingredients in balsamic, but still wonderful.... lemon mash was great too! It was all very nice! My first time using Jamie Oliver, it will not be the last!!
This recipe would have been lovely had it told you clearly what to do after marinading the fish in the salt rub. I thought it was odd that the recipe doesn't tell you to scrape or rinse off the salt and after checking the comments obviously other people also had this issue. I did rinse off the salt but the fish was still barely edible. Such a shame the recipe isn't clearer.
can other fish be used?
just delicious...thank you once more jamie
Iam going to try this tonight... for my kids and hus, hopefully it will be nice and successful as I always a problem getting my kids eat fish... fingers cross
Several weeks ago my husband bought some monkfish home that he'd purchased from a fishmonger. I had never had it before so decided to have a quick search for recipe ideas and came across this one. My first attempt was done with several substitutes like dried herbs instead of fresh and regular red pepper as I had no chili peppers... despite not having all the ingredients, I thought the meal was quite delicious. I've made it since then with all the fresh ingredients and the zest of the chili pepper -- oh my god... it has quickly topped my favorite meals list. I'm cooking it for the third time tonight... and definitely not the last. Thanks Jamie!
Lovely dish even kids really impressed. A bit unsure about the celery tho' - are you just supposed to use the leaves, or the stalks too??!
Mmmmmmm....another triumph from Mr Oliver. Jamie - with this monkfish you're really spoiling us. Seeeeriously though - excellent recipe - really light fresh flavors combined with the comforting creaminess of the mash. An impressive dish and as tasty as a lot of fish dishes I've paid twice the amount for.
Used less salt with the lemon instinctively and all was perfect. Read afterwards about the salt issue, It was a stunner, impressed everyone, even my husband who is normally not great in complimenting. Quick and impressive. Gave that little ckick to the monkfish meat taste, without taking away all the goodness of it. Really good.
THIS IS WHAT IM GOING TO COOK FOR MY HUBBY TONIGHT. HE LOVES FISH AND I KNOW HE WILL ENJOY THIS LOVELY MEAL.....
gr8 dish, will definately cook it again, however i like to do a lot of caribbean cooking, can anyone tell me where i can get some king fish from pls
This.is.divine. I just finished eating this and all i could think about was commenting on this and spreading the word! make it and EAT IT.
This meal is my fav. one. I cooked it for my whole family. They love me so much. Thanks jamie. You made my day ;)
Fantastic dish - just cooked it for Christmas dinner and it was amazing. Wiped the salt from the fish after the hour and it was fine. My partner said it was like an orgasm in his mouth! Followed by the comment that it's the best Christmas dinner he's ever had. Will definatly make this again. Thanks
I have just made this amazing meal... I can still tast the flavors in my mouth and don't want to brush my teeth tonight tee hee !! (but I will ).
The only mistake I made was a bit too much salt on the fish, but I know for next time which will be very soon. I will be making this meal when I host my next dinner party.
Thanks Jamie . xxx
jamie... YOU ARE A ROCK STAR!!! im a 23 years old line chef working in restaurant in south florida,one night, i run this dish for my special and my monk fish is sold out.. i just made my own version of this dish but baisicaly its almost the same dish.......... thanks jamie-- im your biggest fan!!! DELISH!!!
What a nice and simple dish, cooked it well and it impressed my date, she loved it. Jamies recipes was a sure fire winner. I recommend this for anyone who wants to impress without being over the top, the cooking that is !!!
lovely,
i used half potatoe and half root celery, and added capers to the black olive sauce
really good!
to make it less salty rinse the fish with water after you have salted it and pat it dry.
Delicious recipie though - i go with small waxy potatoes and green beans
Loved this recipe. Just have to cut back on the salt next time. Olive sauce was sublime.
really enjoyed this however the fish was too salty. Marinading the fish in the lemon is enough to draw the juices out. The olives are salty and the lemon iis bitter so it really doesnt need any more salt added.

This is awesome - ok when we cook it again we will cut back a little on the salt, but thats just a personal choice. We cooked a few raw prawn and felt this complimented the dish. Easy to prepare and cook, it's as colorful in real life as in the photo. Recommended
It was a bit confusing for me: the initial remark of getting rid of the juice and afterwards the seasoning / marinating of the fish: I did both which was too much salt in the end. the mash is - as everything - a question of liking, and this one is not on top of my list.
but enough of complaining: the dish is a really nice! And the olive sauce is something, too - I had something left and it went perfectly well with these Italian Crostinis!!
well im cooking it now , tyred the sauce and mash so far so good
just got to cook the fish !!!
thanks xx
I love this recipe! I do the fish in an oven-proof griddle pan, then finish it in the oven: the best of both worlds! The black olive sauce is great, though I use 2 cloves of garlic, just a personal preference.
dont know if i did it too early, but monkfish much much too salty to eat... Sauce fantastic, so love to have advice.
I never had monkfish before, till about 3 weeks ago when i decided i got tired of looking at the picture...it just looks great. So i got monkfish and made it no problems. Now my wife is spoiled and wont eat monkfish unless i make it.
Thanks Jamie...
p.s the black/green (i use gree) olive sauce make its great.
Delicious! Nice and simple, but all the flavors and tastes in perfect harmony. Easy to prepare, with a brilliant result. Personally I didn't like olives, but this sauce changed that! I can't wait to try the next recipe.
