To cook the fish, heat the butter in a frying pan add the fish and cook gently for approximately 7-8 minutes on each side if frozen and 4-5 minutes if defrosted.

Add the fresh thyme, white wine, water, stock cube, sugar, lemon juice and zest, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes until the peppers are soft.
