One of my all time favourite fish dishes this Greek Style Baked Fish is zingy, citrusy and so moorish. The combination of lemon juice, olive oil and garlic, with the olives and fish is just so delicious!
In a nut shell, to make my Greek Style Baked Fish you make a mixture with lemons, olive oil and butter, and you dip your pieces of fish into it before dipping the fish in flour. Then you sear the fish, add the lemon mixture to the pan, now with added garlic and transfer to finish cooking in the oven.
When it comes out of the oven you add olives and parsley and spoon over some Tzatziki. It is just lovely. I serve it with steamed greens and mashed potato, or a lovely green salad and crusty bread.
