Monkfish in adobo marinade recipe
- 680 g (24oz) monkfish or swordfish fillet, skin removed
- 3 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for cooking
- 80 ml (2.8fl oz) sherry vinegar
- 1 tbsp water
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 0.25 tsp smoked Spanish paprika
- 0.25 tsp ground cumin
- 0.25 tsp dried oregano
- 2 bay leaves
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 0.33 tsp salt
- 1 handful plain flour, enough to coat your fish
- 1 dusting smoked paprika
- 1 sprinkle chopped parsley
- 6 lemon wedges
- Cut the swordfish into 2.5cm (1in) cubes and place in a non-metallic bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of the oil and all the remaining ingredients except the flour and garnishes.
- Pour this mixture over the fish, turning to coat each piece.
- Cover with clingfilm and refrigerate overnight.
- When ready to cook, drain the fish well and blot dry with kitchen paper to remove excess marinade.
- Put the flour in a shallow bowl and set aside.
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat 1/2cm ( 1/4in) of olive oil until shimmering but not quite smoking.
- Dredge the fish pieces in the flour, shaking off any excess, and fry in batches, turning to brown each side, until crisp and golden (about 1 1/2 minutes per side).
- Remove them to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain.
- Transfer to a bowl or small platter, dust with a little paprika and sprinkle with parsley, and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
