My sister and I originally ate this dish at a restaurant in Santorini, Greece and went back 3 days in a row to order it again and analyze the ingredients so we could replicate it at home. It is easy to prepare ahead of time and stick in the oven so your cooking is complete before guests arrive! Serve over rice.

FISH PLAKI



Fish Plaki image

Plaki is a Greek method of cooking fish with vegetables. I first had this at a little neighborhood Greek restaurant here in my hometown. It was just around the corner from where I worked, so it was a popular lunch spot. Occasionally we were lucky enough to find this on their lunch specials menu....Lucky us! I recommend using a firm white fish....I use amberjack, grouper, or snapper. If you cut all the bloody pieces out of the fillet, you won't get a fishy taste. The fresher the fish the better! Prep time does not include the soaking/marinating time for frozen fish.

Categories     Onions

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 large onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tomatoes, thinly sliced
3 green onions, chopped
1 cup celery, coarsely chopped
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
2 -3 lbs fish fillets
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 medium lemons, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chablis or 1/2 cup other dry white wine
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup soft breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • If your fish isn't fresh, either soak it in milk for an hour or brush with 1 tbsp water mixed with 1 tbsp lemon juice and let sit for 30 minutes to help remove the fishy taste associated with frozen fish.
  • Saute sliced onion in olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until tender. Add tomato and next 5 ingredients; cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid evaporates. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Pat the fish fillets dry. Place them in a 13X9X2 inch baking dish; sprinkle with oregano, salt and pepper. Spread the reserved vegetable mixture over the fish; top with lemon slices. Pour the wine and lemon juice over the vegetable mixture; sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
  • Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Cooking time depends on the thickness of the fillets and the heat of your oven! Remove and discard the bay leaf.

GREEK BAKED FISH WITH TOMATOES AND ONIONS



Greek Baked Fish With Tomatoes and Onions image

The robust flavors in the tomato sauce work well with a variety of white fishes. If you have traveled in the Greek Islands, chances are you have had this fish. Use a white-fleshed fish that will stand up to the robust flavors in the tomato sauce. From the Monterey Bay Aquarium's list of best choices I recommend Pacific cod or halibut, black cod or striped bass. From the "Good Alternatives" list I recommend Mahi Mahi from United States waters.

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 2h15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds boneless fish fillets or steaks, halibut (Pacific US), black cod (Alaska and Canada), porgy, striped bass or mahi mahi (United States)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Juice of 1 large lemon
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pound onions, cut in half lengthwise and then sliced thinly across the grain
2 large garlic cloves, minced or puréed
1 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes with juice (in summer use 2 pounds grated or peeled seeded ripe tomatoes)
1/8 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon tomato paste dissolved in 1/4 cup water
1/2 cup dry white wine or red wine
Leaves from 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped (about 1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Pat the fish dry and season to taste with salt and pepper. Oil one or two baking dishes large enough to accommodate the fish in one layer. Lay the fish in the dish and pour on the lemon juice. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onions. Cook, stirring often, until they have softened and begun to color slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Stir in the tomatoes, sugar, paprika, cinnamon, dissolved tomato paste, wine, half the parsley and more salt and pepper to taste and bring to a simmer. Simmer uncovered, stirring often, until the sauce has cooked down a bit and is very fragrant, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour over the fish. Sprinkle on the remaining parsley.
  • Place in the oven and bake until the fish is opaque and pulls apart easily with a fork, about 30 minutes. Baste the fish every 10 minutes if it is not submerged in the sauce. Serve hot or warm, with rice, bulgur, or potatoes.

  • Feel free to add other herbs and spices to the plaki sauce to taste. Some good options include oregano, basil, thyme, and bay leaves.
  • Serve baked fish plaki with rice, potatoes, or bread. This will help soak up the delicious sauce.
