For a dramatic presentation, serve this delectable sauce over black squid-ink fettuccine or linguine, available at specialty shops. It's also delicious served with fresh fettuccine.

Ingredients

1 lb  (500 g)  monkfish
4 green onions
2 tbsp  (30 mL)  butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup  (75 mL)  minced inner stalk celery with leaves
3/4 tsp  (4 mL)  salt
1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  grated lemon rind
Pinch each nutmeg and white pepper
2/3 cups  (150 mL)  whipping cream
3 tbsp  (45 mL)  finely chopped fresh parsley
4 tsp  (20 mL)  lemon juice
12 oz  (375 g)  black or regular fettuccine

Preparation

Cut monkfish into 1-1/2-inch/4 cm chunks. Cut white and light green parts of onions into 1/2-inch/1 cm pieces. Thinly slice 2 tbsp/30 mL of the green parts; set aside.

In saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; cook white and light green parts of onions, garlic, celery, salt, lemon rind, nutmeg and pepper until onions are soft, about 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high; sauté monkfish until almost cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Add cream; cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in parsley, reserved onions and lemon juice.

Meanwhile, cook fettuccine according to package directions until al dente; drain, reserving 1/4 cup/60 mL of the cooking liquid.

Divide fettuccine among individual plates. Stir reserved cooking liquid into sauce and spoon over fettuccine.
