How to Make Baked Fish Plaka Style Greek

  1. In a large skillet, saute 2 large onions, chopped, in 2 tablespoons olive oil until golden brown and almost caramelized (about 15-20 minutes).
  2. Peel and chop 2 medium tomatoes.
  3. Add the chopped tomatoes to the caramelized onions along with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  4. Simmer for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Place 1.5 lbs fish fillets (cod, snapper, or your favorite firm white fish) in a lightly buttered 6-quart crockpot.
  6. Sprinkle the fish with 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Spoon the sauteed vegetable mixture evenly over the fish.
  8. Slice the remaining tomato and arrange over the vegetables.
  9. Top with 2-3 lemon slices.
  10. Cover and cook on low for 1 1/2 hours, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on your crockpot and the thickness of the fish fillets.
  11. Serve over cooked rice or crusty bread for a complete and satisfying meal.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
