Directions
-
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Add the thinly sliced onion and minced garlic; sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add a splash of water if the onions begin to stick.

Pour in the red wine, fish stock (or clam juice), capers, and dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil.
-
Reduce heat to low and simmer the sauce until it reduces to approximately 1/2 cup, about 8-10 minutes.
-
Season the cod chunks with salt and pepper. Gently add the fish to the simmering sauce.
-
Cover the skillet and cook over very low heat until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes.
-
Remove from heat and gently stir in the chopped parsley.
-
Carefully spoon the fish and sauce into deep plates, serving immediately over rice or with crusty bread.
