Grilled Monkfish with Beurre Blanc

I posted my Beurre Blanc recipe, so I had to do something with it! The grocery had some nice Monkfish, which I tossed in 2 cloves of pressed garlic, lemon zest, a few turns of black pepper, and about 3 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I let that sit for about an hour, heated my gas grill with a nice apple wood smoke, and grilled the fillets for about 5 minutes on each side. I served this with rice, Broccoli and Beurre Blanc over the fish. If you haven't witnessed a whole Monkfish, don't go out of your way, they're ugly as sin, as well as a pain to clean! They call it Poor man's Lobster. I guess it has some similarity to Lobster, but whether you think so or not, it's a great tasting fish.

Tried last night with the beurre blanc recipe and it was excellent! I did put a sprig of rosemary in with the monkfish while marinating. Will definitely make again!
