2. Cut the fish into portion pieces, season with salt and pepper. Squeeze lemon juice and marinate the fish in it for 20 minutes. During this time, chop the vegetables (except for onion and garlic) into small, uneven pieces. Season with salt, sprinkle with vegetable spices, and grate the garlic into the mixture using a fine vegetable grater. Mix everything together and let it sit for 10 minutes.

6. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the vegetables and mix well. The vegetables are now ready for baking. Now let's prepare the fish. Take a suitable baking dish—I use a ceramic one. Pour a small amount of vegetable oil onto the bottom of the dish. Dip the fish thoroughly in the sauce and arrange it around the edges of the dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the fish. Place the vegetables between the fish pieces.

7. The dish is ready for baking. Place the dish in a preheated oven at 200°C and bake for 20 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 180°C and continue baking for another 20 minutes. Don't worry: the fish won't burn, as it's covered with sauce. There's no need to cover the dish with foil. Everything will cook through perfectly.
