Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tilapia fillets (about 6 ounce each)
  • 2 large red bell peppers
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.

2. 2. Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast them for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are charred and blistered.

3. 3. Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover the bowl with foil and let the peppers steam for 10 minutes.

4. 4. In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted peppers, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
