Pan-Seared Sardines with Lemon-Herb Gremolata
Crispy pan-seared sardines topped with a zesty lemon-herb gremolata, served over fluffy quinoa and peppery arugula for a bright, nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Wild Pacific sardines
0.25 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup Fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 tbsp Lemon juice
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Baby arugula
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, and lemon zest to create the fresh gremolata.
Drain the canned sardines thoroughly and gently pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure they achieve a crisp texture when searing.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Season the sardines lightly with sea salt and black pepper.
Place the sardines in the hot skillet and sear for approximately 2 minutes per side until the skin is golden and fragrant.
Arrange the baby arugula and cooked quinoa on a serving plate as a nutrient-dense base.
Place the seared sardines over the bed of greens and quinoa, then drizzle with the fresh lemon juice.
Top the sardines generously with the prepared lemon-herb gremolata and serve immediately.
