Start by rinsing the monkfish fillet under cold water and patting it dry with paper towels.

Using a sharp knife, cut the monkfish into 1-inch thick pieces.

In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Coat the monkfish pieces with this marinade for at least 10 minutes.

Place your skillet over medium-high heat and allow it to get hot.

Add the marinated monkfish pieces to the skillet and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side.

Ensure the monkfish reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

Once cooked, remove the monkfish from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

Serve the monkfish with your choice of sides.
