MONKFISH WITH HERBS

Assemble these supplies:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
• 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
• salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• 175 g (6 oz) monkfish

To garnish:

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or dill

Preparation time: 5 minutes, plus marinating
Cooking time: 10 minutes

Steps in preparation:

1. Mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, dill, salt and pepper. Place the monkfish in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over. Leave to marinate for at least 1 hour, turning the fish occasionally.
2. Remove the fish from the marinade and reserve the marinade.
3. Place the fish under a preheated grill and cook for about 10 minutes, turning once and basting occasionally with the reserved marinade.

The fish needs to be marinated for at least 1 hour but can be prepared up to 12 hours in advance, if kept covered and chilled.
