Two methods:
1. Don't refrigerate your tomatoes, it removes most of the flavor.
2. Buy from a good source. If you start with a poor product there
isn't much you can do. If you don't have a good source (like many
people) only buy them in season.

The suggestions given here are fine, but with a poor product they are
just going to add their own flavor, not do much for the tomato (except
perhaps for salt).
