If you're using un-toasted pine nuts, toast them in a pan. Add the pine nuts in an even layer to a non-stick pan over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes or until golden. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Keep a close eye on the stove because pine nuts can burn quickly. Set aside for serving.
2 tablespoon Pine Nuts
Cod
Pat cod dry with a paper towel. Season with curry powder, salt, and pepper on both sides.
Heat 2 tsp oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned cod and cook for about 3 minutes a side or until golden and cooked through. Set aside for serving.
2 teaspoon Olive Oil
Tomatoes
In the same pan, heat another 2 tsp oil over medium heat. Add sliced cherry or grape tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes, and optional sugar. Stir to combine.
Simmer the tomatoes for about 5 minutes or until they are starting to get jammy. Stir occasionally. Once jammy, add the sliced garlic cloves. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the red wine vinegar and cook for another minute.
3 cloves Garlic, 1 teaspoon Red Wine Vinegar
Turn off the heat. Add the fresh basil and stir to combine. The basil should wilt quickly with the residual heat.
1 cup Fresh Basil
Place the cod in a shallow bowl to serve. Spoon the tomato mixture over the top of the cod. Sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts. Optionally top with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of flaky salt.

Notes
Serving Suggestion: I served this recipe on a bed of turmeric pearl couscous. This would also be great over rice or pasta. You could also serve this with crusty bread.
