At Taisiya's request, I am posting a recipe for this tender, juicy and very tasty fish, which I saw at GadenKa. My photo.
Large fresh or frozen mackerel (then it needs to be thawed), weighing 800-900g. , gut, cut off the head, wash very well and clean from the films inside. Pull out the bones and the ridge - this can be done as follows - put the fish on the stomach, spreading the sides and press on the back. The ridge and bones pop out by themselves. Remove bones.
Lay the fillet on the back, salt, pepper, sprinkle with fish spices, sprinkle generously with lemon juice. Rub a little vegetable oil into both halves, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for several hours. I went to bed for the night.
Filling - 250g of mushrooms, can be from a jar, overcook with 1 onion
- cut 4 thin slices from 200g of hard cheese, the rest
grate and mix with 5 tablespoons of sour cream, add
half a glass of finely chopped dill and parsley,
mix.
Cut 1 boiled egg lengthwise into thin slices.
Remove the fish from the refrigerator, grease the inside with 2 tablespoons of sour cream, sprinkle with herbs, put 2 slices of cheese on both halves.
On top of the cheese, on the one hand, put half of the fried mushrooms, on them the chopped egg in one layer and on them the second half of the mushrooms.
Top with grated cheese mixed with sour cream and herbs.
Put on a baking sheet covered with baking paper, put in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 30 minutes.
The main thing is not to overexpose, so that it is not dry!
And this is how it turns out on the cut.
I would be glad if you like it too.

We put the carcass on the tummy, spreading the sides.
Press on your back with your hand and press down.
The spine and bones will pop out of their own accord
5.
We turn over and carefully remove the crawled bones, just in case we check for the presence of the remaining bones and, if there are, remove them as well.
6.
Put the gutted fillet on the back, salt, pepper, sprinkle with spices and herbs, sprinkle with lemon juice, oil, rub a little into the meat, cover with foil and put in the refrigerator for a couple of hours
7.
Arrange the pickled carcass, grease with 1-2 tbsp. sour cream, sprinkle with fresh herbs, lay out a few plastics of cheese.
8.
On top of the cheese, on one half of the fish, put some of the mushrooms
9.
Put the chopped egg on the mushrooms.
10.
Put the rest of the mushrooms and onions on the egg.
Cover the filling with the free mackerel half.
11.
Top with grated cheese mixed with sour cream and herbs.
Put in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes at 180-200 degrees.
The main thing is not to overexpose the mackerel in the oven, this fish is cooked instantly, and will be dry if overcooked.

Rinse the fish, dry with paper towels.
Trim fins and tail. Make an incision along the back, separate the meat from the ridge and use scissors to cut the ridge. It is also necessary to remove the gill from the head. Then take out all the insides and wash thoroughly inside and out. Pat dry again using paper towels.
Salt a little mackerel, sprinkle with black pepper and fish spices. You can limit yourself to only salt and black pepper.
Prepare the filling. Cut the mushrooms and onions into cubes. Fry everything in a pan, adding 2 tbsp. tablespoons of vegetable oil.
Fry over medium heat until mushrooms are browned.
In a bowl, combine the cooled fried mushrooms with onions, sour cream and half of the cheese, which must be grated on a coarse grater.
Mix everything well.
Cut off a piece of foil in which you can wrap the mackerel completely. Lubricate it with 1 tbsp. a spoonful of vegetable oil. Place the fish in the center and place all the filling inside, as shown in the photo.
Sprinkle with the remaining grated hard cheese on top.
Wrap the mackerel in foil and place in a preheated oven to 200 degrees. After 30 minutes, open the foil and leave to bake for another 20 minutes to get a beautiful and ruddy cheese crust.
Mackerel stuffed in the oven is ready. Let cool slightly and serve. The next day, the fish becomes even tastier and denser, then it will be easier to cut it into portioned pieces.
Bon Appetit!
