Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and roast the red peppers on a baking sheet for about 20-25 minutes until the skins are charred. Cover with plastic wrap and let steam for 10 minutes, then peel off the skins.
  2. While the peppers steam, peel and chop 2-3 cloves of garlic. Blend the roasted peppers and garlic with a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
  3. In a non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the tilapia fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side until opaque and flaky.
  4. Pour the roasted pepper sauce over the cooked tilapia and simmer for 2-3 minutes to warm the sauce through.
  5. Serve the tilapia drizzled with extra sauce, fresh lemon juice, and garnish with chopped fresh herbs.
