Creating Quick Tilapia in Roasted Pepper Sauce is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Sauce: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion until they are soft and translucent.
2. Add Peppers: Incorporate the roasted red peppers into the skillet and stir well.
3. Season: Add dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir until everything is combined and heated through. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes.
4. Cook the Fish: In a separate pan, add a bit more olive oil. Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper. Cook the fish over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Combine: Once the fish is cooked, carefully pour the roasted pepper sauce over the tilapia, ensuring the fillets are well-coated.
6. Simmer Together: Allow the tilapia and sauce to simmer together for an additional 2-3 minutes for the flavors to meld.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
8. Serve: Plate the tilapia with additional sauce on top and serve with lemon wedges.
With these simple steps, you can create a delightful meal that is sure to impress anyone at your table.
