Made this and loved it. It seemed a bit odd with red onions but I had some red wine to use up and some red onion in the fridge and an orange so why not? The only thing I did differently was to add a little bit of butter to the onions and wine. I also let the onions remain a little crunchy. I sautéed some spinach and put that underneath the fillets and red onions. It was so good!
