Method
- Grate the Parmesan cheese finely, and set to one side.
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and add the halibut fillets. Cook them over a medium heat for 5-6 mins, turning once. Add the prawns and two sprigs of lemon thyme and cook for a further two minutes. Season with a little salt and pepper to taste.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. Put the cream into a saucepan and heat gently, whisking with a small whisk. Add the white wine, then the grated Parmesan, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Serve the fish with the prawns and pour the sauce on top and garnish with the remaining thyme sprigs.
Cook's tip: Use any firm fillets of fish instead of halibut - salmon or monkfish would work well too.
