Plaki (Baked Snapper With Potatoes) image

A Greek way to prepare fish. It's very tasty and is a nice alternative to frying. Flounder, sole, porgy, any fish will basically do---I guess.

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 whole red snapper (gutted and scaled)
3 -4 idaho potatoes, cut in 1/2 inch rounds
1 -2 tomatoes, cut into 1/2 inch rounds
1/2 bunch fresh parsley, minced
1 -2 onion, cut into 1/2 inch rounds
5 -6 garlic cloves, sliced
3/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 lemons
oregano
salt
pepper
water

Steps:

  • After your fish is totally cleaned, place it in a large baking pan and score it with a knife on each side, making three lines or incisions on its body. You can make it fancy and do another 3 lines the cross way if you're in a Jaques Pépin kinda mood.
  • Season it generously with salt, pepper, and oregano, especially inside the gutted slit and on the side incisions.
  • You may also add some garlic or slices in the belly and the incisions.
  • Place the fish exactly in the middle of the pan. Around it, add the potatoes,onions and tomatoes in a row, alternating one after the other. Season those as well, with salt, pepper, parsley and lots of oregano.
  • Place any leftovers inside the belly of the fish.
  • Drizzle the food with the juice of one and a half lemons.
  • Add the olive oil, evenly coating all ingredients.
  • Add 1/2 cup water.
  • Place in a 375 to 400 degree oven and cook until potatoes are tender for about 45 minutes to an hour. You may even foil it first for about half the time.
  • The sauce shouldn't be too thick or too watery.
  • The fish and potatoes should be a bit crisp and brown on their surfaces.
  • Add more lemon if desired.
