Salt to taste

4 cloves of garlic

2 sprig dill leaves or sapsige soppu

Rub the spicy herbed paste on fish on both sides. Marinate the fish for 6-8 hours.

Cut the capsicum, potato and carrot into thin slices. 

Take a baking tray add the cut vegetables and squeeze juice of half lemon. No need to add the salt as the salt in the  fish ooze out while baking.

Now place the fish on the vegetables and bake the fish at 200°C for 30 minutes by flipping it.
