Step 1: Prepare the ingredients

Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the garlic. Pat the fish fillets dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Cook the garlic

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook gently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

Step 3: Add the tomatoes

Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and release their juices.

Step 4: Add the fish

Nestle the white fish fillets into the tomato mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the fish simmer gently for 6-8 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.

Step 5: Add basil and serve

Remove the lid and scatter the torn basil leaves over the stew. Drizzle with a bit of extra olive oil for added richness and serve immediately.
