  pepper++not traditional Japanese ingredients.

  Saute the vegetables in a small amount of oil.  Season with salt and
  pepper.  Set aside.
  
  Cut the monkfish into 4 pieces, one for each person.  Season fish
  with salt and pepper; dip into a little flour and shake lightly.  Put
  the butter in a baking pan, add the fish, and bake in a 350F oven for
  about 10 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
  
  Combine wine and fish stock in a saucepan.  Place over medium-high
  heat and reduce until only a small amount of liquid remains in the
  bottom of the pan, turn off the heat.  Add heavy cream.  Cook over
  low heat for 3 to 5 minutes.  Add vegetables.  Drain ginger and add
  to sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.  Pour sauce over
  fish before serving.
  
  Serves 4.
  
  FISH STOCK:
  
  Melt the butter in a stockpot; add fish bones and saute.  Be careful
  bones don't stick or burn.  Add onion slices and white wine.  Turn
  heat to high. Reduce liquid by half, skimming the top to remove
  residue.
  
  Turn the heat to low.  Add water and herbs.  Simmer for 2 to 3
  minutes. Strain and reserve the stock.  Discard bones.
