Directions:
Heat up the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion is slightly softened and translucent.
Add the tomatoes, parsley, thyme, red pepper flakes, pepper, and salt, and cook for 10-12 minutes (lid on), stirring occasionally until the tomato is soft.
Stir in the olives and capers.
On a clean working surface, drizzle the cod loins with lemon juice and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Nestle in the cod loin in the pan, on top of the sauce. Garnish cod loins with tiny thyme sprigs (optional). Close the lid and cook for about 5 minutes, until the cod is just cooked through.
