1. Wash the fish and pat dry with kitchen paper. Finely chop 1 tablespoon mint leaves and stir into the soured cream - add a little squeeze of lemon juice and a grinding of pepper to taste.
2. Cut out and lightly oil four sheets of aluminium foil large enough to parcel up each fillet.
3. Lay a fillet on each sheet, season lightly with a grating of nutmeg, a pinch of salt and a grinding of pepper, and sprinkle over a few bruised mint leaves and a squeeze or two of lemon juice.
4. Bring up the edges of the foil and crimp into loose parcels. Steam for 8 to 10 minutes, accordingto the thickness of the fillets.
5. Meanwhile, gently warm the soured cream and mint mixture in a small pan, it should be just lukewarm.
6. The fish can be served in their parcels on warm plates — neatly fold back the foil and pour the lukewarm soured cream mixture around the fillets so that it mingles deliciously with the cooking juices.
