In a warm saute/fry pan, put 1 oz of extra virgin olive oil; add in the lentils, baby artichokes, olives and spinach. Season with salt and pepper and moisten with chicken stock a little at a time till mix is warm.
Place lentil mix in the middle of the plate, place artichokes and olives around and lay the fish on top of the lentils. Drizzle curry mint yogurt sauce over the fish.
