Pan-Seared Sardines with Lemon-Herb Gremolata
Pan-seared fresh sardines topped with a zesty lemon-parsley gremolata, served over a bed of crisp arugula and juicy tomatoes for a bright and nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz fresh sardines
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup fresh parsley
1 clove garlic
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
2 cup baby arugula
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
PREPARATION
Prepare the gremolata by finely chopping the fresh parsley and garlic, then mixing them with the lemon zest in a small bowl.
Pat the sardines dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Carefully place the sardines in the hot skillet and sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the skin is golden and crispy.
In a medium mixing bowl, toss the baby arugula and halved cherry tomatoes with the fresh lemon juice.
Arrange the dressed salad on a plate, top with the warm seared sardines, and finish with a generous sprinkle of the lemon-herb gremolata.
