Heat Mazola® corn oil in a pot over medium heat, add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes or until lightly golden. Then, add the chiles, cook for 10 seconds, remove from heat, and let the oil cool. Blend the chiles with the garlic, brown sugar, and sea salt for 2 minutes, but remember that it is not necessary to grind too much, as we want it to have some texture. Place the salsa macha in a bowl and add some of the strained oil, sesame seeds, and peanuts. Set aside. Brush the mojarra with the salsa macha on both sides, then coat it in flour completely. Marinate for 10 minutes. Heat enough oil in a deep pot and fry the mojarra for 10 minutes or until well golden. Remove from the oil and place on a plate with absorbent paper. Serve the fried mojarra with salsa macha on a platter and accompany with more salsa, lime, and salad.
