INGREDIENTS
4 oz Sardine Fillets
1/4 Avocado
1/3 cup Cooked White Rice
1 Poached Egg
1 Lemon Wedge
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the sardine fillets dry with a paper towel. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a minimal amount of oil. Once hot, gently place the sardine fillets skin-side down and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the skin turns crispy. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare fluffy white rice if not already done. Keep it warm.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado until creamy. Add a pinch of salt and a squirt of lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
For the poached egg, bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack the egg into a small cup and then carefully slide it into the water. Poach for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Assemble the dish by placing the warm rice on a plate, add a dollop of the creamy avocado mash on top, and arrange the crispy sardines over the avocado.
Gently place the poached egg on top, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
