Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup tomatillos , coarsly chopped (green tomatos)
1/2 cup onions , coarsley chopped
2 poblano peppers , coarsly chopped (or sub in jalepeno for less heat)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro , packed coarsly chopped, plus 2 TBSP leaves for garnish
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup sour cream , divided (I used Light Sour Cream)
kosher salt
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 3/4 lbs halibut or salmon fillets or mahi mahi (about 1 inch thick)

Directions
Preheat oven to 375. In a large frying pan, melt butter over high heat. Stir in flour, remove from heat, and mix to form a smooth paste.

Scrape flour paste into a blender. Add tomatillas, onion, chiles, chopped cilantro, chicken broth, and 1/2 cup sour cream. Puree in blender. Pour green sauce back into frying pan; add salt and lime juice to taste and bring to a boil.

Rinse fish, pat dry with paper towels, cut into 6 equal pieces, and season with salt. Set pieces slightly apart in an 8 by 12 in baking dish.

Pour evenly over fish.

Bake fish until it flakes but still looks moist in the center of the thickest part (cut to test), 15 to 20 minutes.

Serve up fish and spoon sauce over portions. Top off with small spoonfuls of remaining sour cream, and sprinkle with cilantro leaves.
