1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium eggplant, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 medium boiling potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 thick turbot, halibut steaks or other whitefish steaks
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 Place a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Choose a baking pan large enough to hold the fish and vegetables in a single layer, or use two smaller pans. In the pan combine the pepper, zucchini, eggplant, potatoes, onion, and bay leaf. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Toss well.

2 Bake the vegetables 40 minutes or until lightly browned and tender.

3 Put the fish steaks on a plate and sprinkle them with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, lemon juice, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Push the vegetables to the outside edge of the pan and add the fish. Bake 8 to 10 minutes more, depending on the thickness of the fish, until it is just barely opaque when cut in the thickest part. Serve hot.
