The dish can be served both for a family dinner, a dinner party, and a festive table.

Cooking begins with defrosting fish, and catfish is usually sold frozen in stores. To do this, we take the fish out of the freezer in advance and transfer it to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. We leave it in this form for 6-8 hours. Thus, the fish will slowly and gradually defrost, which will have a beneficial effect on its taste, as well as its benefits.

When the fish is thawed, we prepare vegetables and herbs, namely: wash potatoes and carrots, bell peppers and string beans, wash dill under running water. The latter is laid out on a clean, dry towel to dry. Peel the potatoes and carrots, cut out the stem from the bell pepper, clean the seeds by cutting the vegetable in half, and cut the beans into small pieces (if fresh is used).

Then we cut the potatoes into large rectangles, cut the carrots into large cubes, and cut the bell peppers into strips across. We shift all the chopped vegetables into one bowl. Peel the onion from the husk, and then cut it into half rings, having previously cut it in half. Add the onion to the rest of the vegetables. Sprinkle the vegetables with salt to taste, mix well with your hands.

Wash the lemon, dry it with a paper napkin, cut off two large circles. The dill that has had time to dry is finely chopped, leaving a few twigs to decorate the finished dish.

Steaks are also washed, dried with a paper towel, watered with vegetable oil, seasoned with spices suitable for fish, dill and salt. Rub salt, herbs and spices into the fish pulp.

Take two pieces of foil and put vegetables on them equally, fish on vegetables. On top of the fish we put 1-2 circles of lemon, a few half-rings of onion. Carefully wrap the fish and vegetables in foil and send them to a preheated 180 degree oven for 50 minutes. When this time has passed, we check the potatoes for readiness. If the potatoes are not ready, increase the time by another 10-20 minutes.

The dish is served hot on the table, decorated with dill sprigs!
