Pat tilapia filets dry, then season each side thoroughly with 2 T Spanish paprika, salt and black pepper. In an oven safe pan heat 3 T of The Olive Bins Chimichurri Verde Olive Oil over medium heat, then sear the filets for 2 minutes per side, then set aside for later. In that same pan add onion, bell pepper, garlic, and olives if using, cook for 4-5 minutes, then add tomato paste and cook down for 3-4 minutes to build more tomato flavor.
