• 10g butter
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 bay leaf, cut in half (optional)

Method

1. 1Heat the oven to 200C.
2. 2Cut a large piece of foil and smaller piece of baking paper. Place the smaller baking paper on the foil and make sure the foil sides are erected up so you can capture the liquid.
3. 3Place fish on the baking paper and drizzle with olive oil rubbing all over the fish and season with salt and pepper.
4. 4Lay the bay leaf and a few sprigs of herbs (if using) on top of the fish. Break the butter into little pieces and arrange them on top of the herbs.
5. 5Place the lemon slices over everything and drizzle with the remaining oil and wine.
6. 6Fold the foil over to cover the fish crimping the edges together leaving around 5cms above for steam to be captured.
7. 7Place the foil on a tray and place in middle of oven and back for around 12 mins.
8. 8Steam potatoes with skin on and broccoli until tender.
9. 9Meanwhile, melt butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Once melted add wine, lemon, dill parsley, chives capers and let simmer for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle over fish.
