Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 200 C (400 F).
  2. Slice one lemon and set aside. Cut the other lemon into thin wedges. Put the lemon wedges, bell peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, onion, fennel, and some of the reserved fronds on a large baking tray. Drizzle with half the olive oil and gently toss to coat. Bake the vegetables for 20 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, rinse the trout and pat dry with paper towel. Lay a few of the lemon slices and 2 sprigs of oregano inside the cavity of each fish. Brush the fish with the remaining oil.
  4. Gently turn the vegetables, then arrange the fish on top and bake for 20 minutes, until the fish flakes away from the bone when tested with the tip of a knife.
  5. Divide the vegetables among four plates, top with the fish and serve garnished with oregano leaves.
