Cooking instruction summary:

Toss the potatoes, onion and garlic with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Put the cod on a plate; drizzle with the lemon juice and season with salt, pepper and the thyme. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Tear off four 16-inch sheets of parchment paper.
