Halibut Or Mahi Mahi Baked In Fresh Green Salsa

I found this in sunset magazine and wanted to keep it around it was delicious. recipe calls for poblano chilies but they weren't avail in the store so jalapenos did the trick. i also tried it with mahi mahi fish and it turned out excellent. recipe can be halved.
