Halibut Rainer

I recently got some halibut from a friend and I don't know about you but it can be a bit of a challenge to cook and not have it turn out dry so here is something that worked out well for me  First I put olive oil in the fry pan and maybe a tablespoon of butter to give color.  I diced up some fresh garlic and when it started to turn brown under pretty high heat I dropped the 1 inch think pieces and added my fresh rosemary, thyme, dill and basil.  I let it brown and then flipped it over and added a little white wine (optional) and only cook a short time.  I then placed it into another pan to go under the broiler.  I put a dob of sour cream, sprinkled salad size shrimp on it and then topped it with Mexican blend cheese.  When the cheese turns color you are done!!!!  I think the key is not to fry too long so that it gets dry and the wine helps to keep it moist and almost just steam it.  
What to do with left overs:
We had a lot, so two pieces I did not put under the broiler and saved in the frig after just frying it.  The next day I took one of those pieces and chopped it up to make soft taco or maybe more of a quesadillas by taking some really good grain tortilla's (we got some great ones at Costco), smeared with sour cream set it into a hot fry pan and then add your chopped fish and cover with Mex blend cheese and fold.  Let cook until browned well and then flip over. Really, really good. 
Happy Cooking!!!!!
