Fish saganaki is a traditional Greek dish that brings together flavors of the Mediterranean in a rich tomato sauce paired with delicious garlic toasts. This comforting recipe is perfect for a cozy dinner with friends or family. The combination of fresh white fish, tangy feta cheese, and spicy chili peppers creates a delightful and flavorful meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Slice the red hot chili peppers.
- Cut the white fish into chunks.
- Crumble the feta cheese.
- Chop the fresh parsley.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sliced red hot chili peppers and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Pour in the canned tomatoes.
- Season with dried oregano, and stir well to combine.
- Allow the mixture to simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Gently add the white fish chunks into the skillet with the tomato sauce.
- Simmer for another 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Stir occasionally, being careful not to break the fish pieces.
- While the fish is cooking, preheat your oven’s broiler.
- Lightly brush the white bread slices with some of the remaining olive oil.
- Place the bread on a baking sheet and toast under the broiler until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
- Once the fish is cooked, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the feta begins to soften.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve the fish saganaki hot with the garlic toasts on the side. For an added touch, you can drizzle a bit more olive oil over the toasts just before serving.
Tips:
- To enhance the flavor, marinate the fish in a bit of olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Adjust the amount of chili peppers to control the spiciness to your preference.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, let the tomato mixture simmer for a bit longer to reduce.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- Using fresh tomatoes instead of canned can give a fresher taste to the dish, but make sure to peel and deseed them before cooking.
With this Fish Saganaki recipe, you have a delightful and flavorful dish that showcases the fresh ingredients perfectly. The garlic toasts complement the rich tomato sauce and the tender fish beautifully. Enjoy this traditional Greek dish with your loved ones!
