In a large pot cook pasta in slightly salted water, drain, return to the pot and leave aside.
In meantime cook also Brussels sprouts (halved) in water until soft to your liking, drain and leave aside.
In a wok fry carrots on oil until browned and soft to your liking. Once carrots and done combine them with Brussels sprouts, continue heating the wok until all water from Brussels sprouts is gone.
Add veggies to the pot with drained pasta. Add also mackerels, garlic granules, dill, season to taste with freshly ground pepper and salt if necessary. Serve immediately while still warm or later cooled down.

- You can also roast carrots with a little bit of oil instead of frying them.
- Add a little bit more oil if salad is too dry.
