Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

While the rice cooks, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in diced carrots and bell peppers, cooking until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.

Add green peas and thyme, stirring to combine, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Season the vegetable mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.

In a separate pan, heat mackerel until warmed through, about 3-4 minutes.

Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and mix in the vegetable mixture.

Serve the rice topped with the warmed mackerel, garnished with scallions and a squeeze of lime juice.
