Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas Mark 6. Season the monkfish with some salt (I like to add pepper) and set it aside for 15 minutes. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, ovenproof frying pan. Pat the monkfish dry on kitchen paper, add to the pan and sear for 3 - 4 minutes, turning it 3 or 4 times, until nicely browned on all sides. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 10 - 12 minutes, until the fish is cooked through but still moist and juicy in the centre. Remove from the oven, cover with foil and set aside for 5 minutes.
