A quick and flavorful tilapia dish served with a creamy roasted pepper sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb tilapia fillets
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 6 oz roasted peppers, chopped
  • 6 oz roasted peppers, pureed
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Freshly chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat and sear the tilapia fillets until cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
  4. Add the diced onion and cook until softened. Then, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the chopped and pureed roasted peppers, letting them cook for 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
  6. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, simmering until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Return the tilapia to the skillet, gently spooning the sauce over the fish to warm through.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the sauce along with the heavy cream. Make sure not to overcook the tilapia; it should be flaky and tender.
