3. Add the fish to the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side without touching. Once the fish releases easily, flip and cook the other side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
4. Add the peppers and onion to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Add garlic and tomatoes, then season with salt and pepper.
5. Stir in the basil, white wine, and chicken stock, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan.
