Add garlic and saute until lightly golden, but not brown. Add artichokes and whole oregano sprigs and saute until tender. Add the white wine and fish broth. Season the red snapper fillets with salt and place in the pan with the artichokes and broth. Poach the fish in the oven until it's cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove fillets and keep warm. Remove the whole oregano sprigs from the sauce and discard. Finish sauce by reducing cooking liquid by ¾. Add diced tomatoes, chopped parsley, oregano, cold butter and salt and pepper to taste.
