Halibut California

1. 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. 2

   Place halibut steaks in large dish. Pour wine mixture evenly over steaks, covers, & marinate 30 minutes in refrigerator.

3. 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. 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.
