Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place whole bell peppers and unpeeled garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway until the peppers are blistered and the garlic is soft.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Gently place the tilapia fillets in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden and opaque, then carefully flip and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  3. Once the tilapia fillets are cooked, lower the heat and pour the roasted pepper sauce over the fish in the skillet. Let simmer gently for about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Carefully plate the tilapia, draping it with the roasted pepper sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs and squeeze lemon juice over the top before serving.
