Fry off the chopped onion, garlic, thyme and seasoning in a knob of butter until soft.

Add the fish skin side down and cook slowly so as not to burn.

After five or so minutes, turn the fish over and pour in a quarter of a pint of hot water. Cook for five minutes, add cornflour to thicken. Stir in well.

Prep the veg.

Place the smoked and unsmoked fish on each of the dinner plates and add the veg.
