Trim fish if necessary and place it in the ovenproof dish with half the white wine and enough water to nearly cover the fillet. Cover the fish with a buttered greaseproof paper and cook in a moderate oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until the flesh is firm and white.

Reduce the cooking liquor by two thirds and add the finely chopped shallots and vermouth and reduce by a further half and add a splash of cream and allow the sauce to simmer for a couple of minutes.

Drink the rest of your white wine! Add the freshly chopped herbs, a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Add the butter in small pieces, check the seasoning.
