3. Sauté garlic in vegetable oil. As soon as it releases its aroma, remove it from the pan. Using the garlic-infused oil, fry the onion and carrot until half-cooked, then add the pepper, sauté for a couple more minutes, and remove from heat. Add herbs at the very end. Season with salt and spices to taste.

4. Now let's move on to preparing the mackerel. Cut off the head of each fish, remove the innards, and rinse the fish thoroughly inside. Using a fillet knife, cut along the backbone to separate the fillet, then remove any small bones with tweezers. Season each mackerel fillet half with salt and pepper. If you like fish with lemon, you can sprinkle it with lemon juice. Personally, I think the flavor of the fish and vegetables is sufficient here, and lemon would be unnecessary, but that's a matter of taste.

5. Generously sprinkle the fish with cheese. You can replace grated cheese with cheese slices, adjusting them to the size of the fish fillets.
