Grilled Fish with Pepper Sauce

Step 1

Pat the 4 fish fillets dry and season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Set aside while you make the sauce.

Step 2

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 sliced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves; cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add 2 chopped red bell peppers and 2 chopped tomatoes to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender and the tomatoes break down, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Transfer the pepper mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Season with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the fish fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, until they flake easily with a fork and are opaque throughout.

Step 6

Serve the grilled fish topped with the warm pepper sauce. Add extra chopped herbs or a squeeze of lemon if you like.
