Directions:
For White Wine Tomato Basil Sauce:
In large sauté pan over medium heat, warm oil. Add crushed red pepper flakes & garlic; sauté for 1 min until garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Add cherry tomatoes; cook, stirring occasionally, until they're soft and blistering, but still hold their shape, about 8-12 min.
Add white wine, stir, allow mixture to come to gentle simmer. Stir in basil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, sugar, and pepper; cook for 2 min. Taste; adjust seasoning as needed. Transfer sauce into a bowl; set aside until needed.

For Cod:
Heat oil in large nonstick pan or skillet over medium heat. Pat cod dry with paper towels. Then season both sides of cod with salt & pepper.
Place cod in oil; cook until golden brown, about 3 min. Carefully flip cod over; continue cooking another 3-4 min until it's cooked through.
Pour white wine tomato basil sauce over cod, let sauce warm up for a minute, then remove from heat and serve at once.
