Heat the vegetable oil in an ovenproof frying pan. Add the fish and cook for 30 seconds on each side to sear. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast the fish for 7-9 minutes until just cooked.

Meanwhile, make the salsa. Finely dice the tomatoes and onion and place in a bowl. Stir in the garlic, lime zest, lime juice and oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Transfer the fish to warmed serving plates. Mix the basil leaves into the salsa, then spoon over the fish to serve.
