• 2 small yellow summer squash, cut into 1/4 inch slices
• 1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4 inch slices
• 1 medium onion, halved and sliced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 1/3 cup roasted sweet red peppers, drained
• 1 Tbsp. white balsamic vinegar

Directions:

In a large skillet, bring wine, water, lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp. salt to a boil. Reduce heat and add tilapia. Poach, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork, turning once. Remove and keep warm.

Bring poaching liquid to a boil; cook until reduced about 1/2 cup. Meanwhile, in another skillet, saute the yellow squash, zucchini, onion, and garlic in oil until tender. Sprinkle with pepper and remaining salt.

In a blender, combine the reduced liquid, roasted peppers, and vinegar; cover and process until smooth. Serve with fish and vegetables.
