For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the butter mixture.
If you don't have panko bread crumbs, regular bread crumbs will work, but panko provides a superior crispy texture.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the baked fillets just before serving enhances the flavor beautifully.
Serve with a side of drawn butter or a light aioli for dipping.

    Easy to follow and delicious. I added a little garlic powder as suggested, and it was a hit!

  • Larissa Reichert

    The monkfish really does have a lobster-like texture. The paprika and butter combination is perfect.

  • Monserrate Greenfelder

    I was skeptical at first, but this recipe is amazing! My family loved it, and it's so much more affordable than real lobster.
