Dinner Tonight: Sardines With Lemon And Mint Salsa Recipe
- 8-12 fresh sardines, depending on size
- 2 lemons
- 1 medium red onion, chopped
- Small handful fresh parsley, chopped
- Small handful fresh mint, leaves roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup good olive oil
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
- Cut off the ends of the lemons and stand them upright on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut away the peel from top to bottom, turning the lemons as you go. Roughly chop the remaining flesh, removing the seeds as you go.
- Add the onion and herbs and season with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil and stir well, then allow the salsa to sit for awhile to develop (at least 15 minutes).
- Preheat the broiler for a good 5-7 minutes until it is screaming hot, and place an oven shelf close below it. Arrange the fish on a small baking sheet and drizzle with a little olive oil. Broil 3-5 minutes per side, until the skin is beginning to brown. Remove and sprinkle with sea salt.
