Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes, turning them halfway through until the skin is charred. After removing them, cover with a towel or plastic wrap for 10 minutes. Peel, remove seeds, and chop the peppers.
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir in the roasted peppers, vegetable broth, balsamic vinegar, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Use a blender or immersion blender to puree until smooth.
In the same skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the tilapia fillets with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook the tilapia for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
Once the tilapia is cooked, spoon the roasted pepper sauce over the fillets and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

If you prefer a spicier sauce, add red pepper flakes or fresh chilies to the roasted pepper sauce.

You can substitute tilapia with other white fish like cod or haddock.

For a richer sauce, you can add a splash of heavy cream or use a richer broth.

Leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
