Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 medium red, orange, and/or yellow bell peppers
6 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper
4 garlic cloves, smashed
2 Tbsp. sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 (1 1/2-lb.) skinless cod, halibut, or striped bass fillet
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup coarsely chopped parsley
2 Tbsp. drained capers
Country-style bread (for serving)

Steps:

  • Place racks in center and top-most positions of oven; heat broiler. Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove stems, ribs, and seeds; discard. Place bell peppers on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 3 Tbsp. oil; season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat, then turn cut side down and broil bell peppers on top rack, turning baking sheet front to back halfway through, until skins are blackened all over, 15-20 minutes.
  • Transfer bell peppers along with oil and juices on baking sheet to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let bell peppers sit 10 minutes to steam, which will loosen their skins. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F.
  • Uncover bell peppers and peel away charred skin from flesh (don't worry about getting every last bit); discard. Tear flesh into 1/2" strips and place in a shallow 3-qt. baking dish along with all the accumulated juices in the bowl. Add garlic, vinegar, and red pepper flakes and toss well to combine. Taste and season with more salt.
  • Nestle cod into bell pepper mixture, drizzle with 2 Tbsp. oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Roast on center rack until flesh is opaque throughout and flakes easily when pressed, 25-30 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss onion, parsley, capers, and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a small bowl; season with salt.
  • Top fish with onion mixture and serve with bread.
  • Do Ahead
  • Bell peppers can be roasted 1 day ahead. Peel and let cool; cover and chill.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Look for firm, brightly colored bell peppers with smooth skin. Avoid any peppers with bruises or blemishes.
  • Roast the peppers properly: Roasting the peppers brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. To roast the peppers, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the skin is blackened and blistered.
  • Remove the skins: Once the peppers are roasted, let them cool slightly, then remove the skins. The skins should peel off easily.
  • Use good quality capers: Capers add a briny, salty flavor to the dish. Look for capers that are packed in salt or brine, not vinegar.
  • Don't overcook the garlic: Garlic can easily burn, so be careful not to overcook it. Add the garlic to the pan towards the end of the cooking time and cook it just until it is fragrant.

Conclusion:

Red bell peppers with capers are a simple but delicious tapas dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of roasted peppers, capers, and garlic is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone. This dish is also very easy to make, and it can be prepared in just a few minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy tapas dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
