Tips for making Monkfish skewers
Cooking tips
Monkfish skewers can be a delicious meal when prepared properly. I personally enjoy the firm, meaty texture of monkfish. When making monkfish skewers, I recommend using wooden skewers to avoid burning the skewers over high heat. Metal skewers conduct too much heat in my opinion.
Before skewering the monkfish, consider marinating the fish for 30-60 minutes. A marinade with lemon, garlic, olive oil and herbs like rosemary brings out nice flavors. Go light on the salt since monkfish has a naturally briny taste from the sea. Over-salting can make it too intense.
When ready to cook, make sure the grill or pan is very hot. Monkfish holds up well to high heat. I like to quickly char the outside while keeping the interior moist. Be careful not to overcook monkfish or it can become rubbery and dry.
Serving Suggestions
Monkfish skewers pair nicely with a variety of sides like rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad. I’d suggest trying the monkfish with some wasabi mashed potatoes or soba noodle salad for contrasting flavors and textures. A ponzu dipping sauce would also complement the charred smoky flavor of the grilled monkfish.
Some other serving ideas:
- Make monkfish tacos with shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, and chipotle crema
- Serve over udon noodles tossed in a ginger sesame dressing
- Make monkfish and pineapple skewers for a sweet and savory combo
- Pair with a quinoa tabbouleh salad loaded with herbs and tomatoes
Top 5 FAQs about Monkfish skewers
- What is the best way to marinate monkfish for skewers?
A simple marinade of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs like rosemary or thyme, and some salt and pepper works well with monkfish. Avoid marinating for more than an hour or the acids can start cooking the fish.
- Should I soak wooden skewers before using?
Yes, soaking wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes prevents them from burning on the grill.
- What temperature should I cook monkfish skewers?
Cook the skewers over high heat, around 400-450°F. Monkfish has a firm texture that holds up well to high heat. Char the outside while keeping the interior moist.
- How long do I cook monkfish skewers?
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side. Monkfish can become rubbery and dry if overcooked. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness at 145°F.
- What is a good sauce for monkfish skewers?
Chimichurri, romesco sauce, lemon garlic butter, and aioli all pair nicely with monkfish. The char on the skewers provides a nice contrast to bright, herby sauces.
Conclusion
I hope these simple tips help you succeed with cooking monkfish skewers. It’s one of my favorite fish to throw on the barbecue. The smoky, charred exterior combined with the sweet interior makes a tasty summer meal. If the skewers turn out overdone, take it as a lesson for next time. We all make mistakes in the kitchen!
In conclusion, monkfish skewers can make for a delicious grilled meal when cooked properly over high heat. Pay attention not to overcook the fish. A flavorful marinade also enhances the flavor. Follow these basic tips and you’ll be enjoying tasty monkfish skewers all summer long.
