Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the cod into pieces that will easily fit on top of your spatula (if the pieces are two big they will fall apart when you try to flip them). Dry the fillets using paper towels and then generously salt and pepper both sides of each fillet.
  2. Heat a frying pan over medium heat until hot and then add the olive oil and swirl to coat. Add the cod and fry one side until browned on one side. Flip the fillets over using a spatula and fry until the second side is browned and the fish is almost cooked through.
  3. Transfer the fish to a plate and add the garlic to the pan, frying until fragrant.
  4. Add the cherry tomatoes and wine and boil, deglazing the pan in the process.
  5. Return the cod to the pan and then add the basil. Reduce the sauce until it has thickened, flipping the cod over a few times to coat evenly.
  6. Turn off the heat, drizzle the lemon juice over the pan-roasted cod and garnish with minced parsley and lemon zest.
