Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the red bell peppers into quarters and remove the seeds. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until softened and slightly charred.
  2. Transfer the roasted peppers to a blender. Add minced garlic and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season tilapia fillets with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden-brown and flaky.
  4. Pour the roasted pepper sauce over the tilapia in the skillet. Simmer for 1 minute to meld flavors. Plate the dish and drizzle any remaining sauce on top.
