Step 1
How to bake mackerel baked in foil with vegetables in the oven? Prepare your ingredients. You can use any vegetables, but I still suggest trying this company. I have homemade frozen peas, medium-sized carrots and onions. Mayonnaise can be replaced with sour cream or omitted altogether. You can make your own mayonnaise. You will find the recipes after the last step. Take hard cheese. I have frozen fish, medium size (400 gr.)
