This dish brings bold Mediterranean flavors to your dinner table with easy-to-prepare tilapia in a delicious roasted pepper sauce.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 2 fillets tilapia fillets
- 1 cup roasted red peppers (jarred or homemade)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Cooking
- Begin by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the roasted red peppers and dried oregano. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
- While the sauce simmers, season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper.
- Gently place the tilapia in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Once the fish is cooked, spoon the roasted pepper sauce over the top and let it simmer for another minute.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Ideal to serve with steamed vegetables, salad, rice, or quinoa. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the fish. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra spice!
