Place the lemon juice, olive oil, water, garlic, carrot, pepper and leek in a large frying pan. Season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and lay the fish fillets close together on top of the vegetables.

Cover with a piece of baking parchment, then with a lid or a tray and cook for 6-7 minutes until the fish is cooked - the flesh should be flaking.

Using a fish slice, gently transfer the fish and the vegetables to warmed serving plates.

Spoon the cooking liquid over the fish.
