Ingredients
  

4 tilapia fillets (approx. 6 oz each)

2 red bell peppers

1 yellow bell pepper

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh herbs (such as parsley or basil) for garnish

Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Roast the Peppers: Preheat your oven to 400F (200C). Cut the red and yellow bell peppers in half, remove the seeds, and place them on a baking sheet cut-side down. Roast for about 25 minutes until the skins are blackened.

    Prepare the Sauce: Once roasted, transfer the peppers to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for about 10 minutes. After steaming, peel off the skins and chop the peppers. In a blender, combine the chopped peppers, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.

      Cook the Tilapia: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper, then place them in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

        Combine & Serve: Once the tilapia is cooked, pour the roasted pepper sauce over the fillets in the skillet. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

          Garnish & Enjoy: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve with lemon wedges on the side. This dish pairs beautifully with steamed vegetables or a light salad.
