Halibut California

4 servings Source yield

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 4 halibut steaks, about 6 oz. each
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, & sliced lengthwise
  • 4 slices Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup pitted black olives
  • Paprika, (optional)

Make it step by step

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic & saute until soft, about 1 minute. Stir in wine & remove from heat.
  2. Place halibut steaks in large dish. Pour wine mixture evenly over steaks, covers, & marinate 30 minutes in refrigerator.
  3. Preheat broiler. Remove fish from marinade, reserving marinade, & place on broiler pan. Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat about 6 minutes on the first side. Turn & brush with reserved marinade & broil until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, about 6 minutes longer.
  4. Remove from broiler & season with salt. Top each steak with an equal amount of avocado slices & then a cheese slice. Sprinkle with olives (if using). Return to broiler & broil until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with paprika. Transfer to a warmed platter and serve immediately.
