In a small mixing bowl, combine extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, cumin, paprika, and dry coriander.

Stir the mixture well to blend all the flavors.

Add sweet onions, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper to the bowl with half of the marinade.

Toss the vegetables to ensure they are nicely coated with the marinade.

Spread the coated vegetables evenly in a glass baking pan.

Place fresh mackerel fillets on top of the marinated veggies in the pan.

Brush the mackerel generously with the remaining marinade, ensuring every nook and cranny is coated.

Flip the mackerel over so the skin side is up to keep it moist during baking.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (about 350 degrees Fahrenheit).

Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
