0.25 tsp sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

  Finely mince the fresh parsley and garlic, then combine with lemon zest in a small bowl to create the gremolata.

• 2

  Pat the sardines thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure a crisp sear and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.

• 4

  Carefully place the sardines in the pan and sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the skin is golden and the flesh is opaque.

• 5

  In a separate bowl, toss the baby arugula with the lemon juice until lightly coated.

• 6

  Arrange the seared sardines over the bed of arugula and sprinkle the lemon-herb gremolata over the top before serving.
