Ingredients:
- 4 tilapia fillets (about 1.5 lbs/680g)
- 2 roasted red bell peppers, chopped
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1/4 cup (60ml) chicken broth
- 1/4 cup (60g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Season tilapia fillets with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the tilapia for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add butter and sauté the onion until softened. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add the roasted red bell peppers and chicken broth to the skillet. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, cooking until the sauce thickens.
- Return the tilapia to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the fillets.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish is heated through.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil or parsley.
Notes:
Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta to soak up the flavorful sauce.
