1 green bell pepper, sliced in rings
1 onion, chopped in rings

Preheat the oven at 180°C (fan mode).

Wash the potatoes and cut them into thin, round slices. Place them on a sheet pan, and then add the peppers, onion and beets. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top, along with dry oregano.

Score the fish in 4-5 places, sprinkle salt and pepper, and stuff the “openings” with ginger. Stuff the insides of the fish with fresh oregano and place it atop the vegetables.
