    Rinse the fish, dab dry and cut the fillets in half crosswise. Season with salt and pepper. Cover each with 1/2 pointed cabbage leaf. Spread 1 tsp. pesto on each and roll up. Fix with wooden skewers.

  4. 4

    Wash the thyme. Pour fish stock, wine and Pernod into a deep pan. Add thyme, peppercorns and 1/2 teaspoonful of salt. Bring to the boil and reduce the heat. Place fish rolls in the stock, cover and cook for about 10 minutes.
