    Would that sauce go well with panfried Monkfish wrapped in Parma ham?

    If not, what would suit?!

    yep, it would work really well,
    the parma ham nice and crispy and soft fish, if you worried the sauce not strong enough for parma ham, add bit more lemon or try lime juice, but play around with it, you can add anything to a beurre blanc, we often add anchovies,or shrimp,the list is endless, or you could try a bechamel sauce, if you want that recipe, i can post it here for you,
    goog luck :)
