Pan-Seared Sardines with Lemon-Herb Gremolata
Pan-seared sardines served over creamy cannellini beans and topped with a zesty lemon-herb gremolata that provides a bright, citrusy finish.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz fresh sardines
0.5 cup cannellini beans
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 cup baby arugula
PREPARATION
Prepare the gremolata by whisking together the chopped parsley, lemon zest, minced garlic, lemon juice, and half of the olive oil in a small bowl.
Season the fresh sardines with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the sardines in the skillet, skin-side down, and sear for 2-3 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.
Gently flip the sardines and cook for another 1-2 minutes until just cooked through.
Warm the cannellini beans in a small saucepan with a splash of water over low heat until heated through.
Plate the baby arugula, top with the warm beans, and arrange the seared sardines on top.
Drizzle the fresh gremolata over the sardines and serve immediately.
