Method

2. In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, pine nuts, and a pinch of salt.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the sardines flat.
4. Press the breadcrumb mixture onto each sardine to create a thin crust.
5. Drizzle with olive oil and bake at 200 C for 10-12 minutes until golden and crisp.
6. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.

Tips

• Ask your fishmonger to clean the sardines to save time.
