5 lb. yellow onions, cored, thinly sliced
3 sprigs thyme
2 Tbsp. kosher salt

This was one of the best fish dishes I've ever had. The black cod was cooked perfectly and the caramelized onions and apples were the perfect complement. I will definitely be making this again!

This dish was a disappointment. The fish was dry and the caramelized onions were burnt. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The fish was cooked well and the caramelized onions were delicious. However, I found the apples to be a bit unnecessary. I think the dish would be just as good without them.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. There were too many steps and ingredients. I think I'll try a simpler recipe next time.

I made this for my family and they loved it! The fish was flaky and moist, and the caramelized onions and apples were the perfect accompaniment. I'll definitely be making this again.

Delicious! I've made this recipe several times and it never disappoints. I love the way the flavors all come together. It's a perfect dish for a special occasion.

Meh. It was okay. The fish was a bit overcooked and the caramelized onions were a bit too sweet. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The flavors were all there, but it was just too heavy. I think I'll try a lighter version next time.

Not bad! The fish was cooked perfectly and the caramelized onions were delicious. However, I found the apples to be a bit too tart for my taste. Next time I'll try using a sweeter variety.

Wow! Just wow! This recipe is a keeper. I love the combination of sweet and savory. The caramelized onions and apples really elevate the black cod. I'll definitely be making this again.
