Ingredients: 300g monkfish tail fillet, membrane removed, cut into 2 thick medallions; Salt and black pepper; 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided; 250g mixed cherry tomatoes (red, yellow, San Marzano); 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar; 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced; 40g fresh basil leaves, loosely packed; 25g raw pine nuts; 25g parmigiano-reggiano, finely grated; 1 garlic clove, minced; 60ml extra-virgin olive oil (for pesto); 1 tbsp lemon juice; Fleur de sel for finishing

Thick monkfish tail medallions seared until golden outside, tender inside; paired with burst cherry tomatoes caramelized in the pan, then finished with a sophisticated basil pesto made from toasted basil (tamed in flavor, deepened in character). Bright, refined, a study in Italian technique.
