ingredients

1 pound fish fillets (red snapper, tuna, or any firm-fleshed fish)
1 green onion and top, sliced
4 lime wedges

Chili Paste
non-stick cooking spray
1 ancho chile
1 pasilla chili
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
water

directions

For Chili Paste: Spray medium skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot. Cook chilies over medium heat until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and discard stems, seeds, and veins.

Process chilies, garlic, salt, and vinegar in food processor or blender, adding very small amount of water, if necessary to make smooth paste.

Spread top of fish with chili paste. Grill over medium-hot coals or broil 6 inches from heat source until fish is tender and flakes with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes, depending upon thickness of fish.

Arrange fish on serving platter; sprinkle with green onion. Serve with lime wedges.
