Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 monkfish fillets (approx. 125g / 4.4oz each)
  • salt and ground white pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 rashers smoked streaky bacon
  • 70 g full-fat plain yogurt
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • handful fresh parsley leaves (finely chopped)
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan oven). This is 200°C for conventional ovens (or 400°F / gas mark 6).
  • Remove the monkfish from its packaging and pat dry with kitchen paper. Season all sides with a salt, ground white pepper and garlic powder. Don't use TOO much salt here as the bacon will be plenty salty! Wrap a rasher of smoked streaky bacon around each fillet and place onto a tray. Bake in the oven on the middle rack for 25 minutes.
  • In the meantime, make the accompanying sour herby yogurt sauce by simply combining the yogurt, lemon juice and chopped parsley together in a bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Serve the bacon-wrapped fish with the yogurt on the side, or drizzled over. Delicious with a salad on the side - or your favourite low carb vegetables.
