obviously not a traditional Japanese dish. It uses
cream, butter, thyme and white pepper++not traditional
Japanese ingredients.
From Hisashi Vakada, Japanese Consulate.
Saute the vegetables in a small amount of oil. Season
with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Cut the monkfish into 4 pieces, one for each person.
Season fish with salt and pepper; dip into a little
flour and shake lightly. Put the butter in a baking
pan, add the fish, and bake in a 350F oven for about
10 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
Combine wine and fish stock in a saucepan. Place over
medium-high heat and reduce until only a small amount
of liquid remains in the bottom of the pan, turn off
the heat. Add heavy cream. Cook over low heat for 3
to 5 minutes. Add vegetables. Drain ginger and add
to sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Pour sauce over fish before serving.
Serves 4.
FISH STOCK:
Melt the butter in a stockpot; add fish bones and
saute. Be careful bones don't stick or burn. Add
onion slices and white wine. Turn heat to high.
Reduce liquid by half, skimming the top to remove
residue.
Turn the heat to low. Add water and herbs. Simmer
for 2 to 3 minutes. Strain and reserve the stock.
