Allow to cook for about 5 minutes, flip and cook 5 minutes more, until nicely browned on both sides. Add onion and cook 5 minutes more, flipping occasionally, until onion is soft and translucent. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more, until very fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.
