Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 475°F. Halve tomatoes and peppers lengthwise, removing pepper cores. Arrange on a sheet pan.

  2. Step 2

    Pat branzino dry inside and out. Season generously with salt, pepper, and half the herbs. Tuck lemon slices inside each cavity.

  3. Step 3

    Drizzle vegetables and fish with olive oil. Roast for 16 minutes until fish flakes at the thickest part and tomatoes char.

  4. Step 4

    While roasting, whisk tahini with 2 tbsp water and juice from remaining lemon to make a drizzle sauce.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer fish and vegetables to plates. Drizzle tahini sauce over top and scatter remaining herbs.
