Leg of Monkfish Marinated in Aioli Recipe

Ingredients:

1 monkfish leg (about 1.5 pounds)
1 cup aioli
1/4 cup white wine
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Clean the monkfish leg and pat dry.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a small bowl, mix together the aioli, white wine, olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice.
Place the monkfish leg in a shallow dish or plastic bag and pour the aioli mixture over it, making sure the monkfish is coated evenly.
Cover the dish or seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours for more flavor).
Transfer the monkfish leg and its marinade to a roasting pan or baking dish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, basting the monkfish with the marinade occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Garnish with lemon zest and a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley.
Serve hot with roasted vegetables, rice, or a salad on the side.
