Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2: In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions, leeks, and garlic. Sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 3: Add diced tomatoes, salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 4: While the sauce simmers, season your fish filets with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Step 5: If using an oven-safe pan, nestle the fish into the tomato mixture. Otherwise, transfer the mixture to a baking dish and place the fish on top.

Step 6: Pour white wine over the fish and vegetables.

Step 7: Scatter Kalamata olives around the fish.

Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 9: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Step 10: Serve your Psari Plaki hot, accompanied by crusty bread and feta cheese if desired.

This simple process results in a delicious Greek baked fish dish that’s sure to impress.
