  • 1 med. red onion
  • 3 T olive oil (more as needed to moisten)
  • 1-2 loaves of day old Italian bread crumbled and oil drizzled over to moisten (not to excess)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400.
Using a blender or chopper, crumble day old bread to make fluffy bread crumbs, not too fine.

In a saute pan, heat 2 T of oil and add onion and garlic. Season w/ salt and pepper, saute over low heat til the onion has wilted and started to turn translucent; be careful not to let it brown. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Wipe the pan w/ paper towel to clean it, then place it back over low heat and add the remaining oil. Dump the breadcrumbs into the pan and stir to completely coat them w/ oil. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a large mixing bowl and let cool slightly. Mix in the chopped parsley and add the golden raisins to mixture. Salt and pepper.

Lay fish fillets in a large foil baking pan and season w/ a bit s/p. Distribute the breadcrumb/herb/raisin mixture evenly on the top of the fish. Drizzle w/ olive oil to moisten.
Cover and bake for 25 mins. Remove foil cover and bake for 15 mins longer to brown breadcrumbs.
