Servings: persons

1 avocado (about 8 oz.)
1 orange (about 8 oz.)
3/4 cup quinoa
About 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound boned, skinned halibut, cut into 3 equal pieces
Pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon orange marmalade
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts (about 2 oz.; see note above)

1
Pit and peel avocado and cut into 1/4-inch cubes. With a sharp knife, cut and discard peel and white pith from orange. Cut between membranes to release orange segments into a bowl.
2
In a strainer, rinse and drain quinoa. In a 3- to 4-quart pan over high heat, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil. Add quinoa and 1/2 teaspoon salt and adjust heat to maintain a simmer. Cover and cook until water is absorbed and quinoa is tender to bite, about 15 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, rinse halibut and pat dry. Sprinkle lightly all over with salt and pepper. Pour oil into a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over high heat. When hot, add halibut and cook, turning once, until opaque but still moist-looking at the center of the thickest part (cut to test), about 6 minutes total. Spread about 1 teaspoon marmalade over each piece of fish.
4
Mound quinoa on dinner plates. With a spatula, place a piece of fish on top of quinoa and arrange avocado and orange segments over fish. Sprinkle evenly with cranberries and hazelnuts.
