  4. In the same skillet, add the minced shallot and garlic clove; cook gently until translucent, about 2 minutes.
  5. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  6. For in the dry white wine and let it reduce by half, about 3 minutes.
  7. Add the fish stock and simmer for 5 minutes to concentrate the flavors.
  8. Return the monkfish pieces to the skillet and cook gently for 5 minutes until fish is cooked through.
  9. Stir in the heavy cream and remaining unsalted butter; cook for 2 minutes until sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
  10. Season with fine salt and ground black pepper to taste.
  11. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish before serving.
