Equipment
1 oven
1 baking dish
Ingredients
- 2 monkfish medallions
- 1 handful chopped pistachios
- 1 handful almond flakes
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Extra virgin olive oil
To garnish
- Salad to taste
- Artichokes slices to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the monkfish medallions, dry them well with absorbent paper, salt lightly, pass one of the two sides in the chopped pistachios or almonds (if you like you can first brush the surface with a drizzle of oil). Arrange the medallions on a baking dish with baking paper, that you have previously sprinkled with a little oil.
- Bake at 180°C (static oven) for about 20 - 25 minutes.
- Serve accompanied by raw artichokes cut into julienne strips, salad and a drizzle of pepper.
- If you want to enrich the recipe you can add some aromatic herbs to the almonds and pistachios.
- The cooking time depends on the size of the medallions and on the oven; so adjust to sight, if you see that the almonds tend to brown excessively, cover with aluminum foil or turn the oven down (10°C to 15°C lower).

Notes
You can substitute the monkfish with almost all “white” meat fishes: grouper, sea bass, red snapper, swordfish. If you are allergic to almonds or tree nuts in general, you can create the crusty part of the recipe with minced and grated
bread, aromatic herbs and berries such as basil, rosemary, pink pepper or juniper.
