This is my favorite tilapia recipe and I've made it several times. You MUST use fresh basil and fresh tomatoes or it just won't be the same. I grow basil and when I harvest it, I put it through the food processor with olive oil to make a basil "paste" and then freeze it in ice cube trays. I use those cubes to make this recipe... just thaw a cube in the microwave with some butter to melt it and then brush that on the fish. FANTASTIC! I make this in the oven with great results too. I've also served it to company and it got great reviews.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I've never had Pernil before and the spice combo is different, but it was FABULOUS! I kept to the recipe except that I didn't have that kind of pepper so I substituted cayenne pepper and bit of red pepper flakes. Next time I will cut back on the pepper because this had a bit more of a kick than my husband likes but we both agreed, the recipe is great and the pork was unbelievably delicious. And the house smells amazing while it's cooking! This is going to be my new go-to pork recipe.
