# Instructions:
01 -
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 and blistered. Remove from the oven, place in a bowl, and cover with a towel or plastic wrap. Let them steam for 10 minutes to make peeling easier. Peel off the skins, remove the seeds, and chop the peppers into pieces.
02 -
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
03 -
Add the roasted peppers to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Stir in the vegetable broth, balsamic vinegar, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, letting the flavors meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Once the sauce is ready, transfer it to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree the sauce until smooth.
04 -
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. Add the tilapia to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.

Once the tilapia is cooked, spoon the roasted pepper sauce over the fillets. Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
