How to Make Roast Skate With Malted Caramelized Garlic Sauce

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. **Make the sauce:** In a small saucepan, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 head of garlic, cloves separated and roughly chopped. Cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden brown and caramelized (about 10-15 minutes).
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
  4. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has reduced by half (about 5 minutes).
  5. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
  6. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil into an oven-safe skillet and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  7. Season two 6-ounce skate fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
  8. Carefully place the skate fillets in the hot skillet. (Be cautious of oil splatter!)
  9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 10-12 minutes, or until the skate is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  10. Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes.
  11. Serve immediately, spooning the warm caramelized garlic sauce over the skate. Garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika for an extra touch of flavor and color.
