- 2tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
- ¼cup finely chopped onions

- ⅓cup dry white wine
- ½pound small mushrooms
- 1tablespoon butter
- 2tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Step 2
Select a baking dish large enough to hold the monkfish fillets in one layer without crowding. Pour olive oil over the bottom. Turn the fillets in the oil to coat well all over. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brush the fillets with mustard. Scatter onions and garlic around the fillets.
- Step 3
Place the baking dish on top of the stove and heat until the oil begins to sizzle. Add the white wine and scatter the mushrooms around the fillets. Bring the wine just to a simmer.
- Step 4
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake 15 minutes. Baste the fillets and return to the oven. Continue baking about 5 minutes. Swirl the butter in the sauce. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

I did cut the cooking time the first round to 10 minutes and the fish was perfectly cooked! It didn't specify, but I sliced the mushrooms into slighty thick slices, 4 or so to a medium mushroom, and they too were good though in half might have also sufficed for smaller mushrooms.
Overall the recipe was delicious, and was served with roasted vegetables. yum!
Contrary to pretty much everybody else, I found this dish ... meh. Bland. Everything was perfectly cooked at about 12-15 minutes total. I was hoping this simple dish would come close to the Monkfish with Scallops recipe (https://approvedpromo.info/recipes/12127-linguine-with-monkfish-and-scallops%3C/a%3E%29, which was sublime. I am an experienced cook, and I don't know how you'd easily fix this recipe. More herbs would certainly help, but probably not enough. Not terrible, but I wouldn't make it again.
