TILAPIA WITH ROASTED PEPPER VINAIGRETTE



This is one of my favorite fish recipes, the pepper vinaigrette is amazing and so fresh! Its is not hard to make at all- maybe a little time consuming because you roasted the peppers, but it is so worth it, especially for company!! You will impress them with this one-






4 tilapia fillets (1 inch thick)
Extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
VINAIGRETTE
3 bell peppers (red, yellow and orange)
3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 Tablespoons orange juice
2 Tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grnd black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce



1. To make the vinaigrette, grill the peppers over direct high heat until the skins are blackened and blistered all over, 12 to 15 minutes. Place the peppers in a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap to trap the steam. Set aside for at least 10 minutes then remove the peppers from the bowl and peel away the charred skins. Cut off the tops and remove the seeds. Cut the peppers into 1/4 inch strips and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the remaining vinaigrette ingredients. Add the peppers and set aside for as long as 1 day.

2. Lightly brush or spray the fillets with oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill over direct high heat until the flesh is opaque in the center, 5 to 7 minutes, carefully turning once. Serve warm with the vinaigrette spooned over the top
