Enjoy the vibrant flavors of crisp, pan-seared sardines enhanced with zesty lemon, aromatic garlic, and a medley of fresh Mediterranean herbs. This dish offers a delightful balance of savory and bright citrus notes, perfect for a healthful meal any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
150g Fresh Sardine Fillets
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Garlic Cloves
2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
2 tablespoons Fresh Mediterranean Herbs (Parsley & Oregano)
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes (optional garnish)
PREPARATION
Pat the sardine fillets dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice with chopped Mediterranean herbs.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Add minced garlic to the pan, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Place the sardine fillets skin-side down in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes until the skin becomes crisp.
Flip the fillets gently and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until just cooked through.
Drizzle the lemon-herb mixture over the sardines, allowing the flavors to meld for a minute.
Optionally, toss in halved cherry tomatoes just before removing from heat for additional freshness.
Plate the sardines, garnish with extra herbs and serve immediately.
