Description
Psari Plaki is a classic Greek baked fish dish featuring white fish fillets baked in a savory tomato, onion, and garlic sauce, flavored with olive oil, lemon, and Mediterranean herbs. It's light, healthy, and full of flavor.
Ingredients
4 white fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or sea bass)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
1/2 cup white wine (or water/broth)
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 lemon, sliced into rounds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté onions until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Stir in diced tomatoes, white wine (or substitute), parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Place fish fillets in a baking dish and pour the tomato-onion mixture over them.
- Top with lemon slices and bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve warm with rice or crusty bread.
Notes
Use fresh tomatoes instead of canned for a chunkier texture.
Substitute white wine with vegetable broth, water, or lemon juice.
Add red pepper flakes for a spicy variation.
Try salmon or trout for a richer flavor.
Assemble the dish ahead of time and bake when ready.
