Tilapia in Roasted Pepper Sauce

Print Recipe

A flavorful and easy-to-make tilapia dish in a vibrant roasted pepper sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Slice the red bell peppers in half, remove the seeds, and place them cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast them for about 20-25 minutes until the skins are charred and blistered.
  2. While your peppers cool, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 4-5 minutes, until translucent. Then stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
  3. In a blender, combine the roasted peppers, sautéed onion, garlic, broth, balsamic vinegar, smoked paprika, dried oregano, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth.
  4. Wipe the skillet clean and return it to the stove. Add more olive oil if needed, and increase the heat to medium-high. Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Place them in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Pour the roasted pepper sauce over the fish in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors together.

Notes

Serve with fluffy quinoa or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. For an extra flavor boost, add a squeeze of lemon juice while cooking the tilapia.
