For the vegetables: Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
For the marinade: In a hot sauté pan, cook garlic and shallots until fragrant, but not brown. Deglaze with white wine. Add one tablespoon of the citric salsa verde. Add the fish stock. Season with salt and pepper. Finish with butter and parsley. Remove from heat.
