Instructions
Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat the oven to 425°F. Pat fish dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
Combine garlic and crème fraîche together in small bowl.
Place a ceramic oven-safe baking dish on the center rack of the hot oven for 5 minutes. You can use either individual ceramic oval baking dishes (5 1/2 by 8 inches), or a large ceramic baking dish (9 by 13 inches).
Add 2 tablespoons butter to hot dish (or between the four individual dishes), using wooden spoon to spread butter over bottom of baking dish.
Place fish skin-side-down on the buttered baking dish. Cover with the crème fraîche.
Bake until the fish is just cooked though (opaque and flaky), about 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, in an 8 1/2-inch sauté pan, melt the remaining butter over medium-low heat.
Add the tomatoes with a pinch of sugar and a pinch of salt. Cover and cook until the tomatoes soften and burst, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove fish from oven, sprinkle with basil, and spoon tomatoes over the top.
Serve immediately with warm, crusty bread.
