This Monkfish with Herb Browned Butter is a delicious and elegant Mediterranean dish that highlights the delicate flavor of monkfish with a rich, nutty herb butter sauce. The monkfish fillets are seared to perfection, creating a golden crust while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Meanwhile, the browned butter infused with fresh parsley, thyme, and chives adds depth and an irresistible aroma. A final touch of lemon juice balances the richness, enhancing the flavors with a bright and tangy finish. This dish is not only packed with protein but also provides a satisfying balance of healthy fats, making it a nutritious yet indulgent main course.
