Steps:
- Preheat the oven to at least 450 degrees. Place a cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet inside. Put half the butter in a small saucepan, and turn the heat to medium-high. Add carrot and celery, and stir; a minute later, add onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables brown, less than 10 minutes. Be careful not to let them burn. Stir in tomato paste if you like, then broth. Bring to a boil, adjust heat and let mixture simmer about 10 minutes.
- Strain mixture, pressing on vegetables to extract their liquid, and return to medium-high heat. Bring to a boil; let boil until less than half a cup of thick liquid remains.
- Meanwhile, season fish with salt and pepper. Carefully remove hot pan from oven, and add oil; swirl to coat bottom. Add fish, and roast 5 minutes. Remove from oven, and carefully pour liquid accumulated around fish into simmering sauce; turn fish over, and return to oven for 5 minutes while bringing sauce to a boil. Reduce sauce until it is thick and syrupy and measures about 1/2 cup. When a thin-bladed knife inserted into thickest part of fish meets little resistance, remove it from oven.
- Add remaining butter to sauce, and spoon over fish to serve.

SEARED MONKFISH WITH BALSAMIC AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES
I was recently introduced to monkfish (sold as "monkfish tail" in fish markets) and it has become a new favorite of mine. It's often called "poor man's lobster" because its firm flesh and delicate, slightly sweet flavor are similar to lobster. Served with a balsamic, garlic, and sun-dried tomato topping, this recipe comes together in a snap.

Steps:
- Combine sun-dried tomatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, balsamic vinegar, tomato oil, garlic, and sugar in a small bowl. Toss to coat and set aside.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the purple translucent membrane away from each fillet. Cut each fillet crosswise into 3 to 4 pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear monkfish until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes more. Reduce heat to low, remove fish to a plate, and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Pour sun-dried tomato mixture into the skillet and quickly stir around the pan until just warmed, about 20 seconds. Spoon topping over fish and garnish with parsley.

MONKFISH IN LEMON BUTTER WINE SAUCE
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.

Steps:
- Put the wine, shallots and thyme in a saucepan over high heat and boil until less than 1/2 cup remains, from 20 to 30 minutes. Add the heavy cream and stir. Strain the sauce and set it aside.
- Over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a pan. Before the butter begins to brown, add the mushrooms. Cook for 4 minutes, turn each mushroom and cook 3 more minutes. Remove and drain them on paper towels.
- Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Season one side of the monkfish fillets lightly with salt and pepper. When the butter begins to foam, immediately place the fish, seasoned side down, in the pan.
- Lightly season the top side of the fillets and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, depending on each fillet's thickness. Turn and cook until thoroughly warmed, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the fish, pat dry and arrange on 6 plates.
- Warm the wine sauce until nearly boiling. Remove from the heat. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Season, add the mushrooms and surround each fillet with the sauce.
