Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

olive oil flavored cooking spray
8 slices prosciutto
4 (4 -5 ounce) tilapia fillets (about 4 to 5 ounces each)
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 roasted peppers (roasted red peppers from a jar, drained, patted dry and finely diced)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
Arrange four slices of prosciutto evenly spaced on the baking sheet. Place a second slice over each of the first four. Set one tilapia fillet over pair of prosciutto slices.
Season the fish with salt and pepper, then drizzle each with about 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.
Spoon a quarter of the diced red pepper over each fillet and spread it evenly.
Starting at one end of each fillet, carefully roll it up, holding the prosciutto so that it wraps around the outside of the fish. Poke a toothpick through the center of each roll to help it hold together.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until the flesh feels firm and flakes easily.
