  • 1 1/2 lb fresh sardines
  • 3 T flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 T minced green garlic bulbs
  • 1 lemon
  • salt
  • olive oil
  • black pepper

Roasted Sardines with Green Garlic Gremolata Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400℉. Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
  2. Use a sharp knife to remove the head, fin and gills of the sardines. Slice open each sardine’s underside from the top to the tail end. Gently press each fish onto a cutting board, so that the two fillets are splayed out on either side, with the skin-side up. Firmly press down on the backbone until you feel the spine coming away, then flip it over and pull out the spine. Rinse under cool running water, then pat dry.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the parsley, minced green garlic, and the lemon zest and juice. Season with salt to taste, and set aside.
  4. Brush both sides of the sardines with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 5 minutes, or until cooked through.
  5. Serve hot, topped with the gremolata.
