Preparation

  1. Place 6 pieces of monkfish on a skewer, alternating with slices of red and yellow bell peppers. Continue until all fish and peppers are used. Set aside.
  2. Dice the tomatoes. You should have about 3/4 cup. In a saucepan, combine the orange juice, scallions, salt and pepper. Reduce by half over the grill, about 10 minutes. Add the butter, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Mix well. When the butter is melted, set aside in a warm spot while you cook the brochettes.
  3. Coat the brochettes with oil and place them over the grill. Cook until done, about 15 minutes, turning occasionally. Place brochettes on serving plates, pour the sauce over them and garnish with fresh cilantro.
