In a medium saucepan, place 2 tablespoons of the butter and heat on medium-high heat until melted. Add shallots, basil and cilantro. Saute 2-3 minutes or until tender. Add fish stock, wine, pomegranate juice, and orange juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup. Add salt and pepper.
