Blanch asparagus, then brush with extra virgin olive oil and salt.
Cut swordfish into equal-size strips and season with lemon pepper and salt.
Heat a wok or large frying pan until smoking and add olive oil, then swordfish, shaking continuously. When well browned, remove from the oil and clean the wok.
Heat the wok again, adding a little oil. Lightly oil and season the scallops, and toss in wok to sear them. Add garlic and remove from wok.
