Instructions:
TO MAKE THE BROWN BUTTER- Put the stick of butter in a small pot or pan over medium-high heat. Heat until it starts to bubble, immediately reduce to the smallest setting on your stove and cook until you notice a nutty smell.

TO MAKE THE MASH
- Cook the potatoes and cauliflower in salted water until tender.
- Drain and mash with a potato masher. Add mustard and brown butter and mix well.
TO MAKE THE FISH.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Spread one sheet of parchment paper on an even surface. Lightly brush the middle with a bit of olive oil. Put one fish fillet in the middle of the paper. Season with salt and pepper and top with a drizzle of olive oil, garlic, lemon and sage leaves. Put 1/4 of the vegetables on either side of the fish. Wrap the parchment paper around the fish into a parcel. Proceed in the same way with the other three fillets.
