Place the milk into a shallow pan.
Tie the thyme, parsley and leek together and add to the milk.
Season with salt & pepper.
Slowly bring just to the boil.
Fold the fish fillets, place into the milk, cover and gently poach for 5-7 minutes.
Remove the fish and cover to keep warm. Strain the milk and reserve.
To make the bechamel: in a deep sided pan, melt the butter then add the flour and
cook for 1 minute. Do not brown.
Slowly add the reserved milk, whisking or beating, and bring to the boil.
Simmer for 1 minute and check thickness.
If it does not coat the spoon, cook uncovered, stirring continuously until it does coat.
Remove from the heat.
Preheat broiler.
In a bowl mix the cream and egg yolks, pour on a little sauce, blend and return to
the pan.
Reheat without boiling, re-season and add the Spice 'N Easy™ Fines Herbes.
Drain and serve the fish, coat with the sauce and quickly glaze under the broiler.
