Description

Psari Plaki is a beloved Greek tradition featuring whole fish gently baked in a rich, aromatic sauce of tomatoes, onions, garlic, and white wine. This dish showcases the delicate flavor of fresh fish, enhanced by the sweetness of caramelized onions and the brightness of lemon and parsley. The result is tender, flaky fish swimming in a deeply savory, slightly acidic sauce that is perfect for soaking up with crusty bread. It is an impressive yet straightforward meal that captures the essence of Mediterranean home cooking. Ideal for Sunday dinners or special family gatherings, this recipe brings the warmth and simplicity of a Greek taverna straight to your table. Serve it hot with a side of roasted potatoes or rice for a complete, satisfying experience.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. Clean and wash the fish thoroughly; pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Season the fish inside and out with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the fish and let it stand for 1 hour to marinate.
  5. Heat half of the olive oil in a large baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
  6. Spread the sliced onions evenly across the bottom of the dish.
  7. Sprinkle half of the chopped parsley and half of the chopped garlic over the onions.
  8. Lay the fish on top of the onion bed.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining parsley and garlic over the fish.
  10. Pour the remaining olive oil over the fish and vegetables.
  11. Add the white wine and the peeled, strained tomatoes (or diluted tomato paste) to the dish.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the fish, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  13. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to settle.
