  5. Add halved cherry tomatoes and cook until they begin to burst, around 2-3 minutes.
  6. Pour in dry white wine, simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
  7. Return the seared cod to the skillet, sprinkle with basil, and let everything simmer together for another 2-3 minutes.
  8. Transfer to a serving platter, spoon sauce over the cod, and garnish with extra basil leaves.
