Cook the onions over medium heat for about 10 minutes until they are nice and soft.

Grate 4 cloves of garlic onto a microplane and add to the softened onions, letting it warm through without burning.

Add the pureed tomatoes to the pot with the onions and garlic.

Season the mixture with salt, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, and a pinch of sugar (about 1/2 teaspoon).

Mix the sauce and let it simmer for about 10 minutes over medium heat.

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed, then set aside.

Season both sides of the cod fish with salt and pepper.

In a baking pan, layer half of the sauce on the bottom.

Place the seasoned cod fish on top of the sauce in the baking pan.

Slice the kalamata olives, remove their pits, and sprinkle them on top of the fish.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake the fish in the oven for about 35 to 40 minutes until it flakes easily.

Let the fish rest for a bit after taking it out of the oven.

Chop up some parsley for garnish and sprinkle it on top of the dish before serving.
