Ingredients
- 4 brill fillets trimmed
- a little oil
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 onion or 1 shallot very finely chopped
- 1/2 oz butter
- 6 oz frozen peas
- 2 teaspoons water

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to gas mark 5, 375°F (190°C).

- Tip the peas and onion into a food processor or blender, add the mint and yoghurt and process for 30 seconds until smooth.
- Add the remaining lemon juice and black pepper to taste.
- Transfer the fillets to warmed plates, pour a little of the sauce over each one and garnish with mint.
