Instructions
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat to 400°F.
Line a large baking sheet with foil, then drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil.
Pat fish dry and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
Arrange fillets, 1 layer in center of foil on baking sheet and slide 2 lemon slices under each fillet.
Arrange 2 thyme sprigs on top of each fillet.
Heat 2 tbs oil in a heavy skillet over moderately-high heat until hot but not smoking, sauté garlic, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, about 30 seconds.
Add tomatoes and a pinch of salt and sauté, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are softened, about 1 minute.
Stir in capers.
Spoon hot tomato mixture over fish, then cover with another sheet of foil, tenting it slightly over fish, and crimp edges together tightly to seal.
Bake until fish is just cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes (depending on thickness of fish); check by removing from oven and carefully, pulling up sides of bottom sheet to keep liquid from running out. If fish is not cooked through, reseal foil and continue to bake, checking every 3 minutes.
Transfer fillets with lemon slices to plates using a spatula (be careful not to tear foil underneath) and spoon tomatoes and juices over top.
Serve immediately, discard thyme before eating.
