Overview
Dive into a delightful dish where the tanginess of citrus perfectly balances the flavor of fish with this exquisite recipe for monkfish medallions with citrus fruits. This elegant dish beautifully combines the briny tastes of the fish with the sharpness of orange, grapefruit, and lemon. The marinade adds a subtle freshness to the tender monkfish, enhanced by finely chopped shallots.
Ingredients
For 4 servings:
– Monkfish medallions: 800g
– Oranges: 2
– Grapefruit: 1
– Shallot: 1
– Untreated lemons: 2
– Olive oil: 2 tbsp

Preparation
1. Start by rinsing the monkfish medallions. Juice one lemon and one orange and set aside. Segment the second orange and the grapefruit by cutting directly into the flesh, and slice the second lemon into quarters (leave the skin on). Finely chop the shallot.
