Oven-Baked Mackerel Rolls with Veggie-Cheese Filling

I take regular mackerel and get a real delicacy. Mackerel is a completely ordinary and familiar fish to us. Taking it and a few other familiar ingredients: vegetables, cheese, we get a completely new and unusual dish. It is not difficult to prepare and does not take long. Take note of this.

Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Thaw the fish at room temperature. Separate the head and tail. We clean the insides, separate the bones and divide the fish into 2 parts, forming a fillet. To do this, make a cut with a knife exactly in the middle of the fish along the body. Each fish produces two fillets (one fillet equals one serving).

Step 2

Step 2
Letʼs prepare our vegetables. The carrots will need to be washed, peeled, and grated on a coarse grater. We clean the bell pepper from the seeds inside and cut it into small pieces. We do not use seeds and green tails from bell peppers.

Step 3

Step 3
Peel the onion and finely chop it. Divide the garlic into individual cloves and press down each of them with a kitchen knife. This way, the garlic itself will release its essential oils (this will make the dish even more flavorful). Divide each clove in half.

Step 4

Step 4
Heat the frying pan, pour vegetable oil into it. Fry our garlic in it. When the oil is saturated with the aroma of garlic, remove it.

Step 5

Step 5
Fry the onion in the same oil until half cooked. After a couple of minutes, add carrots to it.

Step 6

Step 6
Then add pepper to the onions and carrots. Fry them for a few minutes and remove the vegetables from the heat. At the end, mix in finely chopped herbs, salt and pepper.

Step 7

Step 7
Salt and pepper the fillet. First grate the hard cheese on a coarse grater. Sprinkle our fillet on top. Using a spoon or fork, spread a little filling onto the wide part of the fish.

Step 8

Step 8
Holding the edge with vegetables, carefully roll the fish into rolls. We fasten the edges of each roll with a regular toothpick. Make sure that the rolls keep their shape and do not fall apart.

Step 9

Step 9
Place the fish in a baking dish.

Step 10

Step 10
Place the mold in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes.
