    I was running out of ideas on how to prepare fish for Lent so I asked my friends in the WhatsApp group what fish recipes they recommended and they sent me this easy recipe for fish in poblano chili cream. It is very quick to prepare, I made some variations to keep it as a healthy and low-fat fish recipe but I also give you the options to make the delicious poblano chili cream with pure Mexican cream and cream cheese.

    The first thing that jumped out when I started preparing this recipe was that the fish was left to marinate in lemon juice which caused me a bit of a problem because I didn’t see how the poblano cream would go well with a lemon fish. How great was my surprise to see what delicious flavor it gave to the fish and how it went perfectly with the poblano pepper.

    INGREDIENTS FOR FISH RECIPE (4 People)

    • Juice of 2 lemons
    • 3 poblano peppers
    • 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray
    • 1/4 of onion chopped
    • 2 cloves of garlic
    • 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt or Mexican table cream (If you want the healthy version, use the yogurt and add the 2 tablespoons of cream)
    • 2 tablespoons cream cheese (optional) if you want low fat omit it
    • 1/2 cup of milk, it can be almonds
    • Salt
    • 4 fish fillets
    • 1/4 cup of Chihuahua or Mozarella cheese

    HOW TO MAKE POBLANO CHILE SAUCE FOR FISH

    Toast the poblano pepper, remove the skin and seeds and cut into pieces, it does not have to be small
    In the pan, place a little butter or cooking oil and fry the onion with 1 clove of garlic, add the chili
    Place what you have in the pan in the blender, add salt to taste and half the cheese, milk, Greek yogurt and cream or you can make it only with the portions of milk, cream and cream cheese if you are not looking for something low in fat
    Blend everything until pulverized. Poblano sauce is ready!

    HOW TO MARINE THE FISH

    • Place the fish in a container, bathe on both sides with the juice of half a lemon, add salt and let it rest for a few minutes in which you prepare the poblano cream.
