Step 1
Heat oven to 475°F. Halve tomatoes and peppers lengthwise, removing pepper cores. Arrange on a sheet pan.
Step 2
Pat branzino dry inside and out. Season generously with salt, pepper, and half the herbs. Tuck lemon slices inside each cavity.
Step 3
Drizzle vegetables and fish with olive oil. Roast for 16 minutes until fish flakes at the thickest part and tomatoes char.
Step 4
While roasting, whisk tahini with 2 tbsp water and juice from remaining lemon to make a drizzle sauce.
Step 5
Transfer fish and vegetables to plates. Drizzle tahini sauce over top and scatter remaining herbs.
