Instructions
- Pat dry the monkfish tail fillet with paper towels and season both sides with salt and ground black pepper.
- Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the bacon strips to the skillet and cook until crisp, about 4 minutes, then remove and set aside on paper towels to drain.
- In the same skillet with bacon fat, add the monkfish fillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
- Add the minced shallot to the skillet and cook over medium heat until softened, about 2 minutes.
- For in the pinot noir dry red wine and chicken stock, scraping the bottom of the pan to release browned bits.
- Add the fresh thyme sprig and simmer the sauce until reduced by half, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the thyme sprig and whisk in the unsalted butter until the sauce is smooth and glossy.
- Return the bacon strips to the skillet to warm briefly in the sauce.
- Plate the monkfish fillet, spoon the bacon and pinot noir sauce over the top, and serve immediately.
Tips
