Put 2 tablespoons of olive in a shallow bowl.
In another shallow mixing bowl mix flour, salt, ground black pepper, red pepper flakes, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons basil, and parmesan cheese.
Pat the cod dry. Dip the cod into the olive oil mixture then the flour mixture, making sure to evenly coat both sides. Shake off excess flour.
Place a skillet over medium-hight heat and add olive oil.
Turn down the heat to medium high.
Add cod to the skillet and fry the fish for 5 minutes per side, or until a meat thermometer reads 145* degrees F.
Remove fish from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate to soak any excess oil.
Add the 4 tablespoons of minced garlic, butter, remaining 1 tablespoons fresh basil, and chicken broth to the skillet and cook until the sauce starts to boil.
Remove from heat and let cool for at least 2 minutes before transferring to a gravy boat or ramekin.
Serve cod immediately with a drizzle of the garlic basil sauce and enjoy!
