1- In the belly of your fish slide in a little fennel seeds, herbs (parsley chervil mint etc) and a little sea salt.
2- Place it on your baking sheet, then with a sharp knife make incisions on top and insert a basil lemon leaf.
3- Cut all your vegetables by hollowing out the small peppers and tomatoes keep the juice that you will use to water your other vegetables, place garlic cloves and shallots just peeled salt pepper then drizzle with a good splash of olive oil.
4- Take your sheet out of the oven and 2 hours before your guests arrive turn your oven on to 200°(th 6-7)
5- Then place your sheet in the middle of the oven for 40 minutes, baste from time to time with a little water around it, then turn off your oven, so all the flavors will blend together.
