Usually I find tilapia quite… bland. So to give it some pop, I decided to throw some San Marzano tomatoes on top with some basil.
Now if you haven’t heard of San Marzano tomatoes, let me open up your world for a moment… I was reading some blogs singing the praises of these special tomatoes for a while and my mom was a fan. In my perpetual childhood need to deny that anything my mother likes could possibly be good… I was anti for a while. But then I tried them. WOW! They’re like the best, ripest, juiciest tomatoes you’ve ever had and they come out of a CAN! (A very expensive can… but worth it)
The parm on top was just perfect (we kept one off for a non-cheese eater).
And yes… again with the rice pilaf. What can I say? I love them! Too bad they aren’t too good for you… but they’re not THAT bad for you… right?
