Sardine Recipes

Remove sardines scales

.
First of all the scales need to be removed from fresh sardines. I found the easiest way to remove the scales is to start at the tail and scrape it toward the head and down to the tummy. It comes loose very easily then.

Microwave Sardines

1 minute for a sardine. Put the sardine in the microwave on High for 1 minute without cleaning it. The innards come out very easily and you just scrape it away.

Baked sardines

Grind rock salt over the sardines and bake it in the oven for 15-30 minutes dependig on the number of saqrdines you have. Let it stand for a while before serving it.

Breakfast sardines

Sardines on toast with lemon juice or Worcestershire Sauce, or both. If you like it more oily, add some olive oil.

Mayonnaise sardines

Cold sardines are great with mayonnaise on bread, bagel, croissant, or bun. Garnish with tomato and lettuce. For a bit of extravangance add some capers.

Sardines and other oily fish are great for your health.
