4. Add the Merlot wine and cook it until almost all the wine has evaporated. Add the fish stock and cook it until it too has nearly evaporated and then add the veal stock and cook it for several minutes.

5. Return the fish to the pan, cook it with sauces for 2 to 3 minutes. Take out the fish from the pan, add the chopped sage leaves and swirl in the butter to finish the sauce. Now serve it.
