Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper.

In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Using a skillet that can go from stovetop to oven simplifies the cooking process. - 3
Stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: The tomato paste adds depth and richness to the sauce. - 4
If using, pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly. Stir in most of the chopped parsley and dill, reserving some for garnish.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: The wine adds a subtle acidity and complexity to the vegetable base. - 5
Arrange the seasoned fish fillets over the vegetable mixture in the skillet. Season the fish lightly again with salt and pepper.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Placing the fish on top of the vegetables allows it to steam in the flavorful juices. - 6
Cover the skillet tightly with foil or a lid and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Covering the dish ensures the fish stays moist and cooks evenly. - 7
While the fish is baking, prepare the mămăligă: Bring the water and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for about 20-25 minutes, or until thick and creamy.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Stirring constantly is crucial for smooth polenta. - 8
Once the fish is cooked, remove from the oven. Garnish with the remaining fresh parsley and dill. Serve the Plachie de Pește immediately with the hot mămăligă.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: The rich sauce from the fish is perfect for spooning over the mămăligă.
