Ingredients
- 2 lemons juiced
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley
- 1 1/2 pound fresh fish salmon, tilapia, halibut, or sea bass
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup onion chopped fine
- 3 cloves fresh garlic chopped fine (1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon)
- 2 cup tomatoes chopped fine
- 1 cup fresh parsley chopped fine
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 1/2 cup dry red wine
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400F. Combine lemon juice and parsley. Remove any bones with tweezers. Let fish marinate in the lemon and parsley mixture for 15 minutes. Remove and pat dry.
- Heat frying pan over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add fish, and season with salt and pepper. Fry until light golden brown on both sides. Remove to an ovenproof baking dish.
- Using same frying pan, saute onions and garlic in 1 tablespoon of olive oil for 2-3 minutes. Add tomatoes, parsley, cumin, oregano, another dash of salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes. Add wine. Continue to cook on high for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour sauce over fish and bake for 25 minutes.
This was incredible! We did salmon and didn’t fry it…such flavor…yum!!!!
Thank you!
For me, it has to do with texture. But if you want to do it in the oven, then try it. As for how much time to cook it in the oven, since oven temperatures vary, be sure to watch it carefully since fish can overcook easily. Good luck. Zipporah Malka
Why does this recipe call for frying it first then cooking it?
Wouldn’t 25 minutes in the oven be enough time to cook it through (maybe even too much)?
Is it a flavoring thing? Texture?
Thank you!
