For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a clove of minced garlic to the stewed tomatoes before adding the tilapia. Fresh herbs such as basil or oregano, chopped and sprinkled over the finished dish, will elevate the aroma and taste. Be careful not to overcook the tilapia, as it can become dry. The fish is done when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
