Possibly the best iteration of this dish I've ever made, it's flavorful.

Bring a little Mediterranean flair to your family dinner with this simple pan-seared cod in a tomato basil sauce. This dish comes together in no time and is packed with flavors that remind you of summer any time of the year. It's healthy, vibrant, and a wonderful way to enjoy fish, especially if you're trying to introduce more seafood into your family's diet.
This delightful fish dish pairs beautifully with a variety of sides. For a heartier meal, you might serve it over a bed of freshly cooked pasta or with some creamy polenta. If you're looking for something lighter, a crisp green salad or steamed green beans make perfect companions. Don’t forget a slice of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce!
