1. Prepare the Cod
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels.
Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
2. Sear the Cod
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add cod fillets and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until lightly golden and just cooked through.
Transfer cod to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
3. Make the Tomato Basil Sauce
In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Add the onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the cherry tomatoes and optional red pepper flakes. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down.
Pour in the broth or white wine, stir, and simmer for another 3 minutes to let flavors combine.
