The roasted red pepper sauce is the star! It is amazing on fish, I used cod in this recipe, but tilapia or pan-fried catfish would be excellent as well. The fish is baked on a bed of veggies and topped with a red pepper sauce that is to die for! Roasted red peppers, mayo, sour cream, cannellini beans, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and seasoning. Once the sauce is made and the veggies cut, this recipe takes minutes to make!
