Seared Monkfish with Balsamic and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
I was recently introduced to monkfish (sold as “monkfish tail” in fish markets) and it has become a new favorite of mine. It’s often called “poor man’s lobster” because its firm flesh and delicate, slightly sweet flavor are similar to lobster. Served with a balsamic, garlic, and sun-dried tomato topping, this recipe comes together in a snap.

DIRECTION
Step: 1
Combine sun-dried tomatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, balsamic vinegar, tomato oil, garlic, and sugar in a small bowl. Toss to coat and set aside.
Step: 2
Use a sharp knife to cut the purple translucent membrane away from each fillet. Cut each fillet crosswise into 3 to 4 pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
Step: 3
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear monkfish until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes more. Reduce heat to low, remove fish to a plate, and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Step: 4
Pour sun-dried tomato mixture into the skillet and quickly stir around the pan until just warmed, about 20 seconds. Spoon topping over fish and garnish with parsley.

Depriving yourself can lead to overeating , late-night snacking, and mindless eats and it’s for this reason that Riner encourages people to indulge in “fun” foods every once in a while.
Avoidance on 2.00 AM snacking and got eat , it is much necessary to include some fun foods (or what one may perceive as off limits ). Meaning , if we can be order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, necessary we really wanted the junk food and should have just enjoyed it in the first place."
Because it comes to eat on evening , overeating or eating too much of the wrong kinds of food can lead to bad habit on sleeping. On the flip side, a meal that is not eating to much food than satiating can leave you wanting more and resulting in reaching for an unhealthy late-night snack even closer to bedtime .
