Pan-Seared Sardines with Lemon-Herb Gremolata
Pan-seared fresh sardines topped with a zesty lemon-herb gremolata for a bright and crispy finish over peppery arugula.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Fresh sardines
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup Fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Lemon juice
2 cup Baby arugula
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped parsley, lemon zest, and minced garlic to create the gremolata.
Pat the fresh sardines dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the sardines in the pan, skin-side down, and sear for 2-3 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
Carefully flip the sardines and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the flesh is opaque and cooked through.
Arrange the baby arugula on a serving plate, top with the seared sardines, drizzle with fresh lemon juice, and garnish generously with the gremolata.
