Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 avocado (preferably California)
fresh lemon juice for rubbing the avocado
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice plus 2 lime slices, halved, for garnish if desired
2 tablespoons water plus, if desired, additional to thin the sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped scallion
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
a pinch of cayenne, or to taste
2 tablespoons sour cream
two 1/2-pound halibut steaks, seasoned with salt and pepper
olive oil for brushing the fish
finely chopped seeded tomato for garnish

Steps:

  • Halve the avocado and reserve one half, rubbed with the lemon juice. In a blender puree the remaining avocado half, peeled, the lime juice, 2 tablespoons of the water, the scallion, the cumin, the cayenne, the sour cream, and salt and pepper to taste, scraping down the sides of the blender, until the sauce is smooth. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl and stir in enough additional water to thin the sauce to the desired consistency.
  • Grill the halibut, brushed generously on both sides with the oil, in an oiled ridged grill pan or on an oiled rack set about 6 inches over glowing coals for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until it just flakes. Arrange the steaks on 2 plates, nap them with the sauce, and garnish each serving with the reserved avocado, peeled and sliced thin, fanning the slices, and the lime slices. Sprinkle the plates with the tomato.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my fish was dry and overcooked. The guacamole sauce was also a bit too runny.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up simplifying it and it still turned out great!

The guacamole sauce was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra lime juice and cilantro and it was much better.

The grilled halibut was amazing! I especially loved the crispy skin. The creamy guacamole sauce was also very good, but I found it to be a bit too rich for my taste.
