PREPARATION

1
Pat the fresh sardines thoroughly dry with a paper towel to ensure the skin achieves maximum crispiness.
2
Season both sides of the sardines evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.
3
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
4
Place the sardines in the pan, skin-side down, and press gently with a spatula for 2-3 minutes until the skin is golden and crunchy.
5
Flip the sardines carefully and add the minced garlic to the pan, cooking for another 60 seconds until fragrant.
6
Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the fish and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley.
7
Serve the hot sardines immediately over a bed of fresh baby spinach, allowing the residual heat to slightly wilt the greens.
