Ingredients

2 white fish fillets (e.g. haddock or cod)
zest and juice of half a lemon
1 small clove garlic
2 tsp chopped parsley
1 large leek
100g green peas
150 ml vegetable stock

Grate the lemon zest and mince the garlic, then mix together with the parsley. Set aside.
Slice the leeks thinly.
Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the leek gently until it's tender. Add the peas and the stock.
