Tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes – fresh summer tomatoes! Mine were taking a hiatus from ripening; it is very frustrating to see my plants loaded with tomatoes that are just refusing to ripen. So the one I used for this was grown by a neighbor down the road. The purple basil came from my garden.

This was so simple and easy; and absolutely loved by my family! I am so glad my son ikes fish, it is one of the best ways for me to get protein into him.

In a few days, I will post the recipe for the zucchini – we all (including the 7 year old) really liked that as well.

Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly brush tilapia with olive oil and place in a baking dish.

Prepare the topping: Combine the diced tomato, basil, balsamic and parmesan in a bowl.

Sprinkle the topping over the fish.

Serve and enjoy!
