Pan-Seared Sardines with Roasted Vegetables
Fresh sardines pan-seared until the skin is perfectly crisp, served over a colorful medley of oven-roasted broccoli and sweet bell peppers.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Fresh sardines
1 cup Broccoli florets
1 medium Red bell pepper
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 clove Garlic
0.5 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the broccoli florets and sliced red bell pepper with half of the olive oil, half of the sea salt, and half of the black pepper.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 15-18 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the vegetables roast, pat the fresh sardines dry with a paper towel and season both sides with the remaining salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the sardines in the hot skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until the skin is golden and crisp and the flesh is opaque.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet during the last 60 seconds of cooking, being careful not to burn it.
Arrange the roasted vegetables on a plate, top with the pan-seared sardines, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
