Cooking Tips

• Make sure to fully wrap the monkfish fillets with the Parma ham to ensure they stay together during cooking.
• Do not overcook the monkfish, as it can become tough and dry. Cook until it is just opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
• You can add a squeeze of lemon juice over the canapés before serving for a touch of acidity.

Storage and Serving

• These canapés are best served immediately after cooking.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the canapés in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, until warmed through.
• Serve the reheated canapés with a fresh salad or as part of a seafood platter.
