method
1. Cut the fish into strips about 4 cm (1 3/4 inches) long and put into a frying pan (skillet) with the spring onions (scallions), wine and seasoning.
2. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 4 minutes. Carefully transfer the fish to a warm serving dish. Cover and keep warm.
3. Mix the cornflour (cornstarch) and milk then add to the pan with the dill and cream. Bring to the boil, and boil, stirring, for 2 minutes until thickened.
4. Add the grapes and lemon juice and heat through gently for 1 - 2 minutes, then pour over the fish. Garnish with dill and serve with rice and courgette ribbons.
Dill has a fairly strong aniseed flavour that goes very well with fish. The feathery leaves are particularly attractive when used as a garnish.
