Method

  • Step 1

    Lightly season the fish with salt on both sides; chill for 30 mins.

  • Step 2

    Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Blanch the chard leaves for 30 secs and drain. Refresh in iced water until needed; drain and pat dry with kitchen towel.

  • Step 3

    Wash the salt off the fish and pat dry with kitchen towel. Divide the leaves into 4 piles, then tightly wrap each fillet with the leaves to make a neat parcel, tucking under the thin end of the fillet to form a rectangle. Chill for 30 mins, or up to 2 hrs. Remove 30 mins before cooking.

  • Step 4

    Set a steamer over a large pot of simmering water and steam the fish parcels for 10-15 mins, depending on size.

  • Step 5

    Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan over a low heat, add the shallot and cook for 5 mins or until translucent.

  • Step 6

    Add the wine; bubble to reduce by three-quarters. Whisk in the butter, tip in the beans and any chard stems; cook for 2-3 mins. Add the lemon juice; season.

  • Step 7

    To serve, spoon the butter beans onto plates and top with the fish.
