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

  1. 1
    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.
  2. 2
    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.
  3. 3
    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.
  4. 4
    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.
