For 2 people

    About 600g. 1-1/2lb. of fresh sardines.
    50g./2ozs. of fresh white breadcrumbs.

Sardine Recipe Method


    In a sink with plenty of cold running water descale the sardines. 
    You can do this by running the back of a knife upwards from tail to head. 
    Try doing it under the water to avoid scales flying all over the kitchen.
    Now gut the fish and wash out the cavities.
    Fillet the fish by cutting down to the backbone just behind the head and 
    sliding your sharp knife along the backbone towards the tail.
    Then turn the fish over and repeat on the other side.
    Grease an oven tray with some olive oil and lay a half the breadcrumbs across the bottom.
    Sprinkle half the garlic and some salt and pepper on top.
    Lay down your sardine fillets skin side up.
    Now cover with the rest of the garlic and another sprinkle of salt and pepper.
    Top with the remaining breadcrumbs and a sprinkle of olive oil.
    Bake in a preheated oven at 400ºf./200ºc. for about 8-10 minutes.
    Serve with half a lemon each and a crisp salad.
