Season, and pour in the wine and water.
Cover lightly with buttered greaseproof paper.
Cook towards top of the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes depending on thickness of fillets.

When the fish is cooked drain the poaching liquid into a saucepan and boil furiously until reduced to 1/4 pint.
Remove from the heat, beat in the creamed butter and flour and when smooth stir in the cream.
