The term plaki (plah-KEE) in Greek is used to describe a dish that is usually cooked with olive oil, tomatoes, and vegetables in the oven. You can serve chicken or soy products “plaki” style, but in this case, we will be using white fish for this particular dish, because it is the healthiest, and boasts the highest amount of Omega 3s. The recipe works well with any firm white fish, including cod, tilapia, halibut, haddock.
This dish takes about 15-20 minutes to prepare, and about 45 minutes to cook.

Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup of diced celery
- 4 small garlic cloves, minced
- 4 vine tomatoes, diced
- 3/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

- Sea salt, and fresh black pepper, to taste.
- 2 lemons thinly sliced
- 5 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2/3 cup dry white wine
- 1/3 cup Panko bread crumbs
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onions and the celery until tender, between 3 and 5 minutes, depending on the stove. Add garlic, and saute lightly for a minute or two. Add the diced tomatoes and parsley to the pan. Saute until most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat, set aside.
Place the fish fillets in a 9 x 11 pyrex. Make a mixture of salt, pepper and oregano in a bowl, and evenly season fish. Cover the fish with a few slices of lemon on each. Top with sauté mixture.
Combine lemon juice and wine in a bowl, and pour evenly over fish. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs, and light douse with olive oil.
Put in the oven for 45 minutes, or until fish is fragrant and flaky.
This dish is really easy to prepare, and ALWAYS impresses. And the wonderful thing about this preparation, is that it can be applied to so many proteins, so it never gets old.
