I have no idea what to call what I just put together! It tasted awesome! Just like a fish quiche/pie! Great for a quick brunch, lunch, or side dish!

Step-by-step
- Saute the onions and tomatoes.
- Add sugar and salt.
- Stir until lightly brown or brown.
- Add fish and allow to cook for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Thereafter, add the beaten egg and allow to cook.
- Once it is almost finished, pop it into the oven and grill/broil it for about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Bon a petite!
Standard ingredient lists cannot convey how moisture management dictates the success of an uncrusted fish bake. Onions release high volumes of water when sliced and heated, meaning that rushing the initial pan stage creates a watery base rather than a concentrated, savory foundation. Sautéing them until golden brown breaks down natural starches into sweet compounds that balance the saline qualities of the protein. Incorporating tomatoes introduces both water and natural glutamates, which merge with the fish oils during the simmering phase to build a dense base before the eggs enter the skillet.
- Slice both onions uniformly to 1/8-inch thickness so they release moisture at an equal rate during the initial pan-fry.
- Simmer the fish fillet directly in the tomato and onion mixture for 12 minutes to ensure the internal temperature safely passes 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Whisk the three whole eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, which aids the coagulation process once poured over the cooked solids.
- Position the skillet six inches beneath the broiler heating element for the final 3 minutes, watching constantly to prevent scorching the egg surface.
- Store leftovers in an airtight glass container for up to 2 days, reheating gently in a 300-degree oven rather than a microwave to preserve texture.
Freezing this dish is discouraged because the high water content in both tomatoes and eggs separates upon thawing, resulting in a spongy consistency. Proper broiler management during the final three minutes yields a browned surface crust without overcooking the delicate fish fillet underneath.
