Psari Plaki (Greek Baked Fish with Tomatoes and Olive Oil)
Thick white fish fillets bake on a bed of sliced onions, garlic, and tomatoes in a pool of olive oil — a simple, weeknight-ready Greek classic that tastes far more impressive than the effort involved.
⏱ 40 minServes 4Greek
Ingredients
- •700 g thick white fish fillets (cod, halibut, or haddock)
- •1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced into rings
- •4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- •3 medium / 1½ cups ripe tomatoes, sliced, or canned diced tomatoes, drained
- •⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- •¼ cup dry white wine or extra lemon juice
- •3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- •1 tsp dried oregano
- •to taste salt and black pepper
- •¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
- •⅓ cup Kalamata olives (optional)
Directions
- 1Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C) and lightly oil a baking dish large enough to hold the fish in a single layer.
- 2Scatter sliced onion and garlic across the bottom of the dish.
- 3Lay fish fillets on top of the onions and season generously with salt, pepper, and oregano.
- 4Arrange tomato slices or scatter diced tomatoes over and around the fish.
- 5Add olives if using, then drizzle olive oil, white wine, and lemon juice evenly over everything.
- 6Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes until fish flakes easily with a fork and the sauce is bubbling.
- 7Scatter fresh parsley over top and serve directly from the dish with crusty bread or rice.
💡 Kalamata olives are sold in jars at most Canadian grocery stores near the pickles. Any firm white fish works — frozen cod thawed overnight in the fridge is excellent and economical.
