Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas 6. Put a baking tray in the oven.

2. Take four large sheets of foil and divide the prepared vegetables and coriander leaves between them.

3. Sprinkle with the fish sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Top with a piece of fish and make into a parcel. Set aside.

4. To make the butter sauce, put the white wine, vinegar, shallots and thyme in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil then simmer over medium heat until reduced by half.

5. Whisk in the cream, followed by the butter, a few pieces at a time. Bring only just to the boil, whisking constantly until creamy and emulsified. Finally add the soy sauce. Strain through a sieve into a warm jug and keep warm.

6. Place the foil parcels on the hot baking tray. Bake in the oven for 4-5 minutes.

7. Serve at once with the butter sauce.
