Directions

For the sauce

Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add crushed red pepper flakes and garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until garlic is fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they're soft and blistering, but still hold their shape, 9 to 12 minutes.
Add in the vinegar, stir, and allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer. Stir in the basil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper and cook for 2 minutes.
Transfer the sauce into a bowl and set aside until needed.

For the fish

Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Pat the cod dry with paper towels. Then season both sides of cod with salt and pepper.
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.
Pour the sauce over the cod, let the sauce warm up for a minute, then remove from heat and and serve at once.

Hi❣️ I tried the recipe with salmon and finished the dish with a sprinkle of blueberry lemon white balsamic vinegar; it was fantastic!
