TRADITIONAL GREEK BAKED FISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°. Oil a shallow ovenproof dish. Heat 4 tbsp of the oil preheated in a pan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes. Add carrots and celery. Cook, stirring frequently, for 8-10 minutes or until slightly softened.
• Remove pan from heat and pour the wine into the pan. Return to the stove and bring to a boil. Add the tomatoes with the juice, sugar, lemon slices, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 20 minutes then stir in the herbs.
• Put the fish in the oiled baking dish. Pour the vegetables around the fish. Arrange the lemon slices on top of the fish. Sprinkle with the remaining oil and season to taste.

GREEK BAKED FISH WITH TOMATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Pat the fish dry and season to taste with salt and pepper. Oil one or two baking dishes large enough to accommodate the fish in one layer. Lay the fish in the dish and pour on the lemon juice. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onions. Cook, stirring often, until they have softened and begun to color slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Stir in the tomatoes, sugar, paprika, cinnamon, dissolved tomato paste, wine, half the parsley and more salt and pepper to taste and bring to a simmer. Simmer uncovered, stirring often, until the sauce has cooked down a bit and is very fragrant, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour over the fish. Sprinkle on the remaining parsley.
• Place in the oven and bake until the fish is opaque and pulls apart easily with a fork, about 30 minutes. Baste the fish every 10 minutes if it is not submerged in the sauce. Serve hot or warm, with rice, bulgur, or potatoes.

• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a cast iron skillet (or an oven-safe pan) over medium-high heat (watch the oil to be sure it is shimmering but not smoking). Add the fish and sear on each side to give it some color, but do not fully cook (about 2 minutes on each side). Remove the skillet from heat.
• To the remaining lemon sauce, add the minced garlic and mix. Drizzle all over the fish fillets.
