Seared Halibut with Tomato Garlic Confit

Are you afraid to cook fish?  I hear people say that a lot.  It's not that difficult.  When purchasing fish, make sure it's fresh and I suggest cooking it the same day as you purchase. This dish is a favorite of mine. Halibut is an easy fish to cook, it can get pricey so any firm white fish will do.  I sear the filet in a hot pan to obtain a nice crust and finish it off in the oven. The sauce is a staple in my kitchen as it is very versatile. The tomatoes cook down to a saucey almost melted consistency and the more garlic the better. It's great for pasta and you can add anything to it, herbs, olives, capers are great too. I've even used it as a spread for sandwiches!!  So, Don't let cooking fish intimidate you. Give it a try and impress your friends.
