In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once shimmering, add 3 cloves of minced garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant and golden.

Stir in 1 cup of diced roasted red peppers, seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste. Allow this mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, so the flavors meld beautifully.

In a separate non-stick skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Gently place 2 tilapia fillets in the pan, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn opaque and flaky.

Once the tilapia is properly cooked, carefully transfer the fillets onto serving plates. Generously spoon the smoky roasted pepper sauce over the top of each fillet.

For an added touch of freshness, sprinkle with optional chopped parsley or basil as desired. Serve immediately.
