Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
2 Tilapia fillets (6 oz each)
2 Red bell peppers
2 Garlic cloves
2 tablespoons Olive oil
2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice red bell peppers into strips. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, or until soft and charred at the edges.
Place roasted peppers, garlic cloves, and lemon juice into a blender. Puree until completely smooth.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear tilapia fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and almost flaky.
Pour the roasted pepper sauce over the fish in the skillet. Simmer for 1 minute, allowing the flavors to meld.
Transfer tilapia to plates and spoon sauce over each fillet. Garnish with fresh herbs or lemon wedges (optional) and serve immediately.
