Melt the butter in a large cast-iron pan or another pan with a thick base. Leave to foam, but without discolouring. Add the flour over a low heat. Stir with a wooden spoon until you have a smooth mixture. Add the cream and continue to stir until you have a smooth sauce without lumps. Add the leek, white wine and fish stock. Bring to the boil and leave to simmer for 12 minutes over a low heat. Add the salmon and sea bream fillet. Stir carefully. Add the mussels to the pan. Leave to cook for 5-7 minutes until the shells open and the fish is done. Add lemon juice, salt, pepper and parsley to taste.
Serve with bread or mashed potatoes.
