   3      tb            Olive oil
     1/4  c             Cooked lentils
   2      tb            Green olives -- sliced

     1/4  c             Reduced beef stock
   1      tb            Parsley -- chopped, for garnish

Season fish fillet with salt and pepper. In a medium skillet heat
1 tb oil until rippling. Add fish, skinned-side up and sear for
3 minutes. Add lentils, olives, tomatoes, and shallots. Using a spoon
gently stir vegetables. Turn fish and cook for 2 minutes. Add vinegar
and cook 30 seconds. Add stock, bring to a boil and reduce liquids by
half. When fish is tender and cooked through, transfer it to a dinner
plate. Add remaining olive oil, stirring quickly to work it into
sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings. Pour sauce over fish and garnish
with parsley.
