Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice 1 red bell pepper into thin strips and arrange in a single layer in a baking dish.

  2. Step 2

    Place 4 fish fillets on top of the pepper strips. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the peppers are tender.

  4. Step 4

    In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup tahini, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp water, and a pinch of salt until smooth and pourable.

  5. Step 5

    Drizzle the tahini sauce over the baked fish, then sprinkle with 2 tbsp capers and a handful of chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
