Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

Step 1
Dredge each fish steak on both sides in flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Shake off excess.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a skillet large enough to hold the steaks in one layer without crowding. Crush the garlic and add it. Add the fish steaks and cook on one side until nicely browned, about two to three minutes. Turn the pieces and cook about two to three minutes or until the steaks are cooked through.
Step 3
Transfer the steaks to a serving dish.
Step 4
Combine the orange juice with the vinaigrette and stir. Pour over the fish steaks and let stand at room temperature. Arrange the avocado slices around the fish steaks, spooning the orange juice mixture over the slices.
Step 5
Serve with maltaise sauce on the side.
