Zesty Pan-Seared Cod with Burst Tomatoes

How to make it

1. 1

   Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Once shimmering, carefully place the cod fillets in the pan. Sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the cod from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to burst and soften.

4. 4

   Squeeze the juice from the lemon over the tomatoes. Stir in the fresh basil. Cook for one minute more.

5. 5

   Serve the seared cod immediately, topped with the warm lemon basil tomato mixture.
