Roasted Monkfish with Bean Mash

I am totally in love with monkfish, but as it is so expensive I don't get to have it all that often and when I do it's always good. This is such a simple recipe that showcases the fish and pairs it with the salty flavour of the parma ham, another of my expensive loves! I also love bean mashes, it's a nice alternative to normal mash, although the original recipe did call for a combination of potatoes and beans, I decided to go for all beans. I served the dish with the last of my corn on the cob and green and runner beans.
