Ingredients

olive oil
4 firm white fish fillets (I used cod but any white fish is fine,sea bass, orange roughy, hake etc.. Just note there are two ca)
125 g mussels, meat
120 g peeled cooked prawns
3 garlic cloves, crushed
4 green onions
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon fish stock, powder
1/2 teaspoon vegetable stock powder
2 teaspoons cornflour
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup dry white wine
135 ml sour cream
1/2 cup cream
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon gruyere cheese
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dill
pepper
1 medium carrot, chopped
100 g green beans, trimmed

Steps:

Note make the sauce first and leave on heat as the fish fillets cooking time are very quick.
In a fry pan heat a little oil and cook garlic slightly, you don't want to burn it, add the green onion and cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Boil, steam or microwave carrots and beans until tender, set to one side.
Heat milk in pan, add both the stocks. Blend cornflour with a little water and add half the mixture stir until sauce thickens slightly.
Add sour cream, lemon juice, white wine, cream and mustard stir until thoroughly.
combined.
Add cheeses and stir until melted, add garlic onion mixture and dill. If the consistency of the sauce is not to runny like a broth, don't add the remaining cornflour. If it needs to be thickened up a little more to make it more of a sauce, this is where you add remaining cornflour. I add a little at a time until desired consistency. ( I don't know why but sometimes I need all of the cornflour and other times what I add in the beginning is enough.).
Add the carrots, beans, mussel meat, and prawns. Leave over low heat while you cook the fish, stir sauce occasionally.
Pour a little oil in a pan and heat. Pat fish on both sides lightly with flour, place fillet in pan (pan should be hot enough that fish sizzles when added, turn heat down to a medium high heat immediately) Cook, without moving fish, until edges of fillets are opaque and bottoms are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
Turn the heat up on the sauce, so it is nice and hot when served. Turn fish over and cook again without moving fish, 3-4 minutes. This is for thick fillets, for thin it will only be 2-3 minutes a side.
To serve place a mound of mash potato in a large bowl, place fillet on top and pour sauce over.
