TILAPIA IN ROASTED PEPPER SAUCE
Ingredients:
4 tilapia fillets (about 6 ounces each)
2 red bell peppers, roasted and peeled
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Roasted Pepper Sauce:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes, turning halfway until the skin is charred and blistered.
Remove from oven, place in a bowl, and cover with a towel or plastic wrap. Let steam for 10 minutes. Peel off the skins, remove seeds, and chop.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
Add roasted peppers, broth, balsamic vinegar, smoked paprika, and oregano. Simmer for 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Blend the sauce until smooth using a blender or immersion blender.
2️⃣ Cook the Tilapia:
In the same skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat.
Season tilapia fillets with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
Cook fillets for 3-4 minutes per side until they flake easily with a fork.
3️⃣ Assemble the Dish:
Spoon the roasted pepper sauce over the tilapia fillets.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
