Instructions
Place the tomatoes with their juices in a medium bowl and, using your fingers, break them into rough 1-inch pieces; set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes.
Add the garlic, paprika, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the reserved tomatoes and their juices, water, measured salt, bay leaf, and sugar and bring to a simmer.Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened, become darker in color, and reduced by about half, about 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, set the oven to broil and arrange a rack in the upper third. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and set it aside.When the sauce is ready, remove and discard the bay leaf.
Transfer the sauce to a blender.
Add the measured vinegar and hot sauce and blend until smooth, removing the small cap (the pour lid) from the blender lid and covering the space with a kitchen towel (this allows steam to escape and prevents the blender lid from popping off). Taste and season with additional salt, vinegar, or hot sauce as desired.
Transfer to a serving bowl.Pat the tilapia dry with paper towels and coat with the remaining tablespoon of oil. Season both sides with salt and pepper and place on the prepared baking sheet. Broil until opaque and cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir, Sparkling Wine
Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are great choices for Tilapia. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. You could try GIFFT by Kathie Lee Gifford Pinot Grigio.
