Ingredients:

1. Four fillets of cod and two teaspoons of olive oil .
2.  One onion, cut very finely
3. 3 garlic cloves, minced cloves
4. Two cups of cherry tomatoes
5. cut in half one can of chopped tomatoes, weighing 14.5 ounces
6. chopped fresh basil leaves equalling half a cup
7. A quarter cup of dry white wine
8. To taste, season with salt and pepper
9. For serving purposes, lemon wedges

How to proceed:

1. Rub the fish fillets with salt and pepper before cooking them.
2. The olive oil, which is one tablespoon, should be heated in a large pan over medium-high heat.
3. After adding the cod fillets, fry them for three to four minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked all the way through. Take the food out of the skillet and put it aside.
4. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet that you are using initially. Sauté the onion and garlic for two to three minutes, or until they have become more tender.
5. After adding the cherry tomatoes, continue to simmer for an additional three minutes, or until the tomatoes begin to crack.
6. The chopped tomatoes, white wine, and half of the basil should be stirred in at this point. Let the mixture simmer for ten minutes so that the flavours may combine.
7. The cod fillets should be returned to the stove, and the sauce should be spooned over the chicken. Allow the salmon to continue to simmer for an additional two to three minutes.
8. The cod fillets should be served with the tomato basil sauce spooned over the top, and the leftover basil and lemon wedges should be used as garnishes.
