This tomato and thyme white fish dish is versatile enough to be served for a keto or a carb-up day, with only minor adjustments. The sauce base made from a tomato reduction and fresh thyme is given an extra pop of umami with the addition of tamari soy sauce or coconut aminos. Then it's just a matter of choosing what to serve it with, steamed cauliflower/broccoli or zucchini noodles for keto or steamed rice or potatoes for a carb-up.

- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- ½ cup yellow onion, chopped
- Kosher sea salt, to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

- A few sprigs of fresh thyme, leaves stripped (*or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free tamari soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 4 cod, basa, or sole fillets (*or another white flaky fish)
- Extra virgin olive oil , for finishing (*Optional for keto.)
Directions:
Heat oil in a frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Add onion then sauté for 5-8 mins until lightly browned. Add garlic and sauté another 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Stir in tomatoes, leaves from a few sprigs of thyme and tamari soy sauce or coconut aminos, then bring to the boil.
Turn heat down to medium-low and simmer 5 mins, then slip the fish fillets into the sauce. Cover and gently cook for 8-10 mins until the cod flakes easily. Serve with baked or steamed potatoes.
