Serves 6

I know - it sounds fancy and I'm not fancy. So who cares, just make it and impress your friends. But heed my warning - if you use red salsa instead of green - this will become one of the most horrifyingly ugly dishes you've ever made - so don't.

Ingredients

  • 1 red pepper, diced small
  • 1 yellow pepper, diced small
  • 1 Anaheim chili pepper, diced small
  • 1.5 pounds Halibut
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup salsa verde (green salsa)
  • 1 teaspoon each cumin, cayenne and chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped

Steps

  1. Cook peppers in about a tiny bit of oil in a pan until softened and beginning to get a wee bit brown- about 10 minutes
  2. While that's cooking, heat broiler
  3. Combine cumin, chili powder and cayenne - and sprinkle over halibut
  4. Broil halibut until done - about 5-7 minutes depending on thickness
  5. While halibut and peppers cook, combine sour cream and salsa in a little pot and simmer until heated through
  6. Plate it by putting some pepper mixture on plate, then halibut on top and spoon some of the salsa cream over the top
  7. Garnish with a little cilantro
