Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 C (400 F).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Divide the vegetables among four plates, top with the fish and serve garnished with oregano leaves.
