Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Chop the roasted red peppers into bite-sized pieces, mince the garlic, and set aside your spices.
- Season the Tilapia: Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne, and cumin. Make sure the spices coat the fish evenly for maximum flavor.
- Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the seasoned tilapia fillets in the skillet.
- Sear the Fish: Cook the tilapia for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. The fish should flake easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
- Sauté the Garlic and Peppers: In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Add the minced garlic and chopped roasted peppers, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant. The garlic should be soft but not browned.
- Combine and Serve: Return the tilapia to the skillet, gently spooning the pepper and garlic mixture over the fish. Cook together for another minute to meld the flavors. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve immediately.
