Crispy Pan-Seared Sardines with Fresh Arugula and Lemon Dressing
Enjoy a zesty and crisp twist on fresh sardines, perfectly pan-seared to lock in flavor and served atop a bed of peppery arugula. The vibrant lemon dressing enhances the natural taste of the fish, creating a balanced dish that's both satisfying and nutritious.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Fresh Sardines
1 cup Fresh Arugula
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the sardines dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Finely mince the garlic clove.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Place the sardines in the pan skin-side down and sear for approximately 3-4 minutes until the skin becomes crispy.
Carefully flip the sardines and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until cooked through.
In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh arugula with lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Plate the sardines on top of the arugula salad and drizzle any remaining pan juices over the dish.
Serve immediately and enjoy the crisp, zesty flavors.
