ingredients
- 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
directions
- 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.

A super recipe to show off high quality, freshly-caught fish! The fish is the star here with the lemon, wine and other flavors just complements. Instead of individual filets, I used this for one giant piece of very fresh grouper served family style. If you did need to use thin filets, you may want to decrease the bake time; my thick piece was cooked absolutely perfectly in 35 minutes.

By topping the fish with the vegetables, lemon juice and wine it kept it moist and delicious. I had to use sun dried tomatoes because I didn't have fresh on hand. I also omitted the breadcrumbs as I needed to make a gluten free meal. This was very good and something I would not hesitate to make again. Made for Greek Kid-friendly Forum Challenge during ZWT6.
