To make Mahi Mahi:  Preheat a skillet to medium-high heat, and add olive oil.  Season fish with salt, pepper, and chili flakes on both sides.  Pan sear it for about 6 minutes, flipping once.  Turn the heat down to medium. Add a cup of poblano-tomatillo sauce, vegetable stock, and stir with a whisk.  Cook uncovered for about 8-10 minutes.

Serve with a few slices of fresh avocado.

Serves 4

*If you did not have time to make Roasted Poblano-Tomatillo Sauce, you can always substitute it with a store bought Salsa Verde.
