cook
slowly, stirring occasionally, until tender but not colored. Add
garlic and cook one minute. Add tomatoes, season with salt and
pepper, and simmer for 15 minutes. 3. Clean the trout (or
whiting) and cut into 1 inch slices. Cut the
monkfish fillets into 1 inch thick slices. Cut the scallops in
half

of the butter in a large frying pan over high heat. Add the trout
(or whiting) slices and saute until golden brown on both sides;
set
