INSTRUCTIONS
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. Serves 2. Gourmet October 1992 Converted by
