Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the anchovies, olives and white wine. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring the sauce up to a simmer and remove from the heat. Pour the sauce into a blender and puree until smooth. Check the seasonings.

Mound the polenta in the center of the platter. Lay the fish on top of the polenta. Spoon the sauce over the fish and around the rim. Garnish with basil and peppers.

This recipe serves 1 and yields about 3 cups of sauce.
