Cooking should begin with cleaning the fish. Rinse the mackerel well, remove the gills with scissors. Gently spread the abdomen on mackerel, remove all the insides, then rinse well again and leave aside to dry. If desired, fish can be dried with paper towels.

Cut one peeled garlic clove into slices (you can grate - to taste) and set aside. Put the second in a mortar, add peppercorns to it, a large pinch of salt and chop. Add lemon juice, two tablespoons of vegetable oil and mix. Grate the mackerel with the resulting marinade.

Cover the baking sheet with a large sheet of foil.
