INGREDIENTS
150 g Sardines (drained)
200 g Asparagus
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 Garlic Clove
Salt & Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, add salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the sardines dry with paper towels. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the sardines in the skillet, skin side down, and sear for about 2-3 minutes to get a crispy exterior.
Carefully flip the sardines and cook for an additional 2 minutes until just cooked through.
Mince the garlic and zest the half lemon. Squeeze the lemon juice over the roasted asparagus and sprinkle with the garlic and lemon zest.
Plate the pan-seared sardines alongside a generous serving of the lemon-garlic roasted asparagus. Serve immediately.
