As spicy and vibrant as the Greek national character, Greek fish plaki pairs well with nearly any food. Make the plaki with any fillets or steaks you prefer. Prepare double quantities of it so you can divide it into many single serving portions. Then use the tips below to guide you in how to serve it.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Finish preparing the Greek fish plaki according to its traditional recipe. Make orzo pasta pilaf by simmering browned orzo in chicken broth with saffron until the liquid evaporates. Serve the fish over a bed of orzo pilaf.

  2. Step 2

    Add wine and parsley to the finished fish plaki. Allow several spoons of butter to brown in a large skillet. Toss cooked ziti pasta into the butter and transfer to a large serving platter. Pour the fish plaki over the pasta, allowing it to absorb the plaki sauce.

  3. Step 3

    Toast thick slices of Italian country bread on a large baking sheet in a moderate oven until golden brown. Remove and rub with a cut garlic clove. Place two bread slices in each dish and top each with a piece of fish plaki and its sauce. Serve as a knife and fork sandwich for a light dinner.

  4. Step 4

    Place the Greek fish plaki into a deep soup kettle. Pour over it hot chicken broth. Simmer red potato halves in the broth until tender. Serve as a main dish soup with buttered toast.

  5. Step 5

    Steam long-grain white rice until tender and liquid evaporates. Stir in freshly chopped scallions, freshly snipped dill, crumbled feta and pitted, chopped Kalamata olives. Put into individual bowls topped with the Greek fish plaki and its braising sauce.
