- Marinate the fish with salt, pepper, oregano and lemon juice for 30 minutes, or while you prepare the sauce.
- Heat the olive oil in a braiser pan on medium high heat.
- Add the onions and sauté until they get golden brown in colour (about 10 minutes).

- Add in the tomatoes and stir in salt, pepper, oregano, sugar, red chilli flakes, parsley and cook for a couple of minutes.
- Stir in the wine and simmer the sauce for 15 minutes.
- If you are using an oven proof dish, place the fish in the sauce such that there is a little sauce at the bottom and spoon the sauce generously over the fish.
- If using a separate baking dish, pour half the sauce in the bottom, place the fish and cover the fish with remaining sauce.
- Throw in the kalamata olives.
- Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 35 minutes, or until the fish is flaky.
- Drizzle extra virgin olive oil, garnish with parsley, feta and lemon slices if desired.
