My halibut with a burst of lemon comes together in one pan and stays super moist. Try it with polenta, angel hair pasta or crusty bread. —Danna Rogers, Westport, Connecticut

2 poblano peppers, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
