Method

Step 1 of 4

Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a large roasting pan. Process half of the prawns in a small food processor until chopped. Add egg white and process until well combined. Transfer to a bowl. Finely chop remaining prawns and add to puréed prawn mixture with 2 tablespoons of chives.

Step 2 of 4

Lay 8 fish fillets into pan. Spoon 2 tablespoons of prawn mixture onto each and spread evenly. Top with another fillet. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 25 minutes or until cooked through.

Step 3 of 4

Mash butter with flour to make a paste. Bring wine to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Whisk in half the butter mixture, whisking constantly until smooth. Repeat with remaining butter mixture. Simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in remaining chives.

Step 4 of 4

Meanwhile, place wet spinach into a large saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes until spinach is limp. Drain well. Serve fish on a bed of spinach and spoon over sauce. Note: To devein a prawn, use a small sharp knife to make a slit along the middle of the back to expose the dark vein, use your fingers to carefully pull the vein through the opening at the head end to remove.
