Tilapia in Roasted Pepper Sauce: A Smoky, Nutrient-Packed Dinner

A smoky, nutrient-dense Mediterranean dish featuring flaky tilapia fillets smothered in a velvety, charred red pepper sauce. High in Vitamin C and ready in just 40 minutes!

  • Total Time: 40 Minutes
  • Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 4 Tilapia Fillets (approx. 6 oz each)

  • 3 Large Red Bell Peppers

  • 1 Small Red Onion, chopped

  • 3 Cloves Garlic

  • 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika

  • ½ cup Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth

  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil

  • 1 tbsp Sherry Vinegar

  • Sea Salt and Cracked Black Pepper to taste

  • Fresh Parsley and Lemon Wedges for garnish

Instructions

  1. Roast: Preheat oven to 425°F. Place peppers, onion, and garlic on a tray with olive oil. Roast for 20 minutes until charred.

  2. Blend: Steam roasted peppers in a covered bowl for 5 mins, peel, then blend with paprika, broth, and vinegar until smooth.

  3. Sear: Pat tilapia dry. Season and sear in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until golden.

  4. Simmer: Pour the roasted pepper sauce into the skillet. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the fish is flaky and cooked through.

  5. Serve: Garnish with parsley and fresh lemon juice.

Notes

  • Pro Tip: Always pat the fish dry with paper towels before searing to get a perfect golden crust.

  • Storage: The sauce can be made 24 hours in advance to save time on busy weeknights.

  • Substitution: You can substitute Tilapia with Cod or Halibut if preferred.
