Grilled Orange Monkfish with Glazed Sauce

Monkfish is a fish known for its firm texture and mild flavor, popular in various regions of the world. In Latin America, although it is not always called "monkfish," there are similar preparations with firm-fleshed fish that are enjoyed grilled. In countries like Mexico or Chile, it may simply be known as "frogfish" or "monkfish," while in other regions, the term varies depending on the species but maintains the same essence of a simple and delicious grilled preparation. This recipe highlights the combination of a citrusy and spicy glaze that enhances the fish's natural flavor.

Grilling is a culinary technique deeply rooted in Latin American food culture, where fresh fish is often prepared with local flavors. Incorporating ingredients like lime juice and cayenne pepper adds a touch of freshness and spice that perfectly balances the texture of the monkfish, making it an ideal dish to share at family gatherings or with friends.

How to Prepare Grilled Orange Monkfish with Glazed Sauce

Preheat the broiler to ensure even cooking.

In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, sauce, low-fat mayonnaise, low-fat plain yogurt, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until a homogeneous glaze is obtained.

Place the orange monkfish fillets on a broiling pan and sprinkle with black pepper to taste.

Spread half of the prepared glaze over the fillets, making sure to cover the surface well.

Broil the fish at a distance of approximately 7.5 cm from the heat for 5 minutes so it cooks evenly on both sides.

Coat with the remaining glaze and continue broiling the fish until it is completely cooked and has a golden and juicy appearance.

Serve immediately, accompanied by lime wedges for an extra touch of freshness and acidity.
