6 tbsp fresh orange juice
6 tbsp honey
1 1/2 tsp minced canned chipotle chiles
1 garlic clove, coarsely chopped
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 large avocado, halved, pitted, peeled
2 medium tomatillos (about 4 oz), husked, rinsed, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 tsp (or more) hot pepper sauce
6 5- oz halibut fillets (each about 1 inch thick )

For fish: Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Make crosswise slits in each fillet, cutting to within 1/4 inch of bottom and spacing slits about 3/4 inch apart. Brush glaze over top and into slits.
