Ingredients
1 lb cod or tilapia fillets
Use either fish based on preference or availability.
3 tbsp butter
1 medium onion, diced
2 garlic cloves
6 oz roasted peppers, chopped

Season the fish with salt and pepper, remove from the skillet and set aside.
Keep the fish warm while preparing the sauce.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of butter and sauté the onion for 5 minutes.
Add garlic, chopped and pureed roasted peppers, and cook for another 5 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, turn off the heat, and adjust salt to taste.
The sauce should be creamy and slightly thickened.
Return the fish to the pan and coat with sauce.
