Pan-fried Fish With Tomatoes Recipe

Step 1: Prepare Ingredients

Gather all your ingredients: 2 fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod), 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste, fresh basil (optional for garnish).

Step 2: Season Fish

Season both sides of the fish fillets with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Heat Pan

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4: Cook Fish

Add the fish fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. Remove fish from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5: Cook Tomatoes

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are softened.

Step 6: Combine and Serve

Place the cooked fish fillets back into the skillet with the tomatoes. Spoon the tomatoes over the fish. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the fish through. Garnish with fresh basil if desired, and serve immediately.
