Instructions

1 In a large sauté pan over medium heat, warm the oil. Add crushed red pepper
flakes and garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until garlic is fragrant but not
browned.
2 Add the cherry tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they're soft and
blistering, but still hold their shape, about 8 to 12 minutes.
3 Add in the white wine, stir, and allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the basil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, sugar, and pepper and cook for
2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
4 Transfer the sauce into a bowl and set aside until needed.
5 Heat oil in a large nonstick pan or skillet over medium heat. Pat the cod dry
with paper towels. Then season both sides of cod with salt and pepper.
6 Place cod in the oil and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Carefully
flip the cod over and continue cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes, OR until it's
cooked through.
7 Pour the white wine tomato basil sauce over the cod, let the sauce warm up for a
minute, then remove from heat and and serve at once.
