Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Rinse and pat dry fish.
Make three or more slits on both sides of the fish.
Make a seasoning mix by combining: melted butter, olive oil, sea salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and squeezed lemon juice.
Mix well and adjust to taste.
Place fish on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
Brush fish with seasoning mix on both sides, inside the cavity and the slits.
Insert fresh minced garlic, sliced onion, and lemon slices inside the fish cavity.
Insert lemon slices into the slits.
Add sliced bell peppers, potatoes, and the rest of the sliced onion to form a frame around the fish.
Add wine and the remaining seasoning mix over the veggies.
Dust with additional paprika, salt, and dry parsley.
Bake for about 30 minutes uncovered or until the fish flakes easily and the potatoes are soft.
Drizzle with lemon juice and dripping from the seasoning.
Garnish with fresh herbs (parsley) and serve.
Notes
Bake until fish reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and flakes easily with a fork. (Cooking time will vary according to the type/size of your fish.)
