6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 lb. luganega sausage
1/2 lb. collard greens, stemmed, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh tarragon leaves
4 tbsp. white wine vinegar

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 side of lg. monkfish, bone and skin on

Instructions

Preheat barbecue to high heat. In a large spaghetti pot, heat virgin olive oil until smoking. Add garlic and luganeya sausage and cook until garlic is medium-light brown. Add collards and stir sausage through and allow to cook until liquid evaporates, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside in warm place.

In a blender, place tarragon, vinegar, scallions and Dijon and blend until smooth. Leave blender on and drizzle in extra-virgin olive oil to form a beautiful green emulsion. Pour into squirt bottle and set aside.

Remove skin and bone from monkfish and season well with salt and pepper. Brush lightly with oil and place skin-side down on hottest part of barbecue. Cook 7 to 8 minutes on front side, flip and cook 4 to 7 minutes on other side, cooking through. Remove and slice into 12-inch slices.

Divide collard mixture among 4 plates, place 2 or 3 slices of monkfish over greens and drizzle with tarragon vinaigrette.
