This is a spicy sauce for any fried fish, it also works very well with a fried chicken breast. Just use the same frying technique as the fish. I have also used it with grilled fish and chicken but I prefer the crispy crunch of the meat with the spicy and tangy punch of the sauce. Sometimes I like to garnish it with a dab of sour cream or Mexican style Crema.

While you are frying the fillets dehusk and wash then quarter the fresh tomatillos, put in a sauce pan with the chicken stock and the jalapenos

Step 5

Put a towel over the lid of the blender and hold firm while blending. Add more liquid as needed till you have a pourable sauce but not a thin sauce.

Add the lime juice a tablespoon at a time and taste after each addition until it has a bit of a tang and you can taste the lime juice.

You can serve the fish laying side by side with a trickle of Tomatillo sauce straight down the middle or you can serve it on the side and let everyone add as they like it.
