Cook the asparagus in boiling salted water. Cook the peas for 10 to 15 minutes. Cool, drain, set aside. Sear the salted steaks in olive oil over high heat for 3 minutes on each side. Lower the heat and let the fish release its liquid for 5 minutes. Add a little white wine. Raising the heat, slowly pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil which should emulsify perfectly with the fish broth. Add the chili pepper, garlic, parsley, peas and asparagus. Let simmer for 5 minutes. Decorate your merlu koskera with hard-boiled eggs. You can optionally add mussels and/or clams.
