Method

Pre heat your oven to maximum.

Take a gratin dish and grease it with a little of the butter.  Lay the fish fillets in the dish skin side down and pour in the sherry.

In a bowl mix whisk the mace with the cream and pour over the fish.

Lay the sliced garlic in neat lines on each fillet, sprinkle with thyme then cover with breadcrumbs and dot with the remaining butter.

Bake for 6-7 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with cheese and finish under the grill until you have a wonderful crisp top.
