Roasted Sardines with Herb Stuffing
Report
Fresh sardines roasted with a stuffing of fresh herbs, breadcrumbs, garlic and lemon. A delicious taste of the Mediterranean and budget friendly too.

Ingredients
- 1 kg (2¼lb) sardines cleaned and dried on kitchen paper, fresh
- 4 tablespoon olive oil
- 100 g (8 tbsp) breadcrumbs or panko
- 2 egg organic, yolk
- 2 tablespoon milk or wine
- 1 lemon unwaxed/organic, zest and juice
- 5 garlic finely chopped, cloves
- 1 teaspoon thyme or ½ teaspoon dried, fresh leaves
- 1 teaspoon rosemary leaves
- ½ teaspoon black pepper crushed
- ¼ teaspoon salt (fleur de sel, Maldon flakes or celtic salt)
- 4 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley finely chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 230°C/210°C fan/450°F/Gas 8. Oil a large roasting dish with a tablespoon of the oil.
- Prepare the sardines (otherwise get your fishmonger to do this). With the blunt part of a knife, run over each side to remove any scales then rinse. Using a sharp knife, cut and discard the heads. Slit open the stomach and discard the insides using your thumb. Depending on their size, keep the tails or remove. Rinse well and pat dry.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoon of the olive oil with the rest of the ingredients. Spread a tablespoon of the stuffing on top of each sardine directly in the dish. Make a sandwich by pressing gently another sardine on top.
- Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of oil and bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on their size, until the visible breadcrumbs are well browned and the rest is sizzling.
Notes
- Serve immediately with a wedge of extra lemon, a side of green vegetables or salad and a glass of chilled French rosé.
