salmon "plaki"

"Plaki" is a way that in Greece we cook fish in the oven using tomatoes, onions and parlsey. We can use whatever fish we like, but here I am using salmon just because I found nice fresh salmon today that it's the favorite of my husband. It's a recipe that I strongly suggest to try, as it tastes great!








Ingredients

6 slices of salmon
5-6 potatoes
3-4 nice red tomatoes (or canned)
1 onion (optionally)
salt, pepper, olive oil, parsley
1 lemon

Procedure

Wash salmon, and if needed take out the skin. Put in the middle of an oven dish, and fill the space around with peeled potatoes that you have cut in slices.






Cover the salmon with some slices of a tomato, minced parsley and the minced onion (I did not put today). Pour on top of salmon and potatoes the pureed tomatoes, add salt, pepper and olive oil. Pour water to cover half of the potatoes.

Put in the oven (180C/fan) for about 1h30. Watch out for water and not to burn on surface (Mine was on limit today :). Enjoy it as it is really delicious!
