📝 Preparation Steps
1
Pat fish dry with paper towels. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until shimmering.

Working in batches if needed, add fish in a single layer and cook, without moving, until crispy and golden-brown on one side, about 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes.
3
Flip each piece of tilapia and continue cooking until fish is 145 degrees. Transfer to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
4
To the same skillet, add onions and garlic and sauté ⏱️ 1 minute. Add peppers and sauté until softened, 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, capers, and thyme until heated through, about 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes.
5
Stir in lemon juice and add salt and pepper to taste. Return fish to pan and stir to coat with sauce.
