Pan Seared Tilapia with Roasted Red Pepper Broth

Tilapia is a mild white fish that goes with many different flavors.  I got this recipe from Robin Miller's cookbook Robing Rescues Dinner.  I paired it with the orzo salad.  Its a quick easy recipe that I think you will enjoy very much.

 Pan Seared Tilapia with Roasted Red Pepper Broth

Serves 4 

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups reduced sodium chicken broth 

1/2 cup chopped roasted red bell peppers

1 garlic clove, chopped

4 tilipia fillets

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

 salt and pepper to taste 

Directions
In a blender combine the chicken broth, peppers, and garlic.  Puree until smooth.  Set aside.  Heat oil in skillet over medium high heat.  Season both sides of the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper and add the fish to the hot pan.  Sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.  Add the red pepper mixture to the pan and bring to a simmer.  Simmer for 2 minutes, or until the fish pulls apart when tested with a fork.  Serve 4 of the fish fillets with all of the broth and basil sprinkled over the top.
