I developed this recipe for a sablefish dish when I was working as a chef. I still make it regularly to this day because it's so amazingly flavorful and amps up any dish. You won't regret making this. Feel free to substitute any of the chillies. You can just use regular chilli flakes or add things like chile de arbol for more spice.
