Method:

Preheat a non-stick sauté pan. Add olive oil, parsley, oregano and garlic and sauté until translucent.

Season the fish filet with salt and pepper and place in the pan. Keep the pan moving to prevent sticking.

Sauté for a few seconds, then add the scallops and sprinkle the wine. Allow the alcohol to evaporate and add the chickpeas, black olives and sundried tomatoes. Sauté for a minute and then add the chicken stock. Cook until the fish is done then remove the filet and reduce the sauce until creamy and lace over the fish. Serve with polenta a great escarole salad.
