Preparation
- Start by draining the sardines and gently patting them dry with a paper towel.
Cooking
- In a non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Carefully add the sardines to the skillet and let them cook for about 3-4 minutes, undisturbed.
- Gently flip the sardines and add the minced garlic around them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste, and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the sardines.
Serving
- If you have fresh herbs on hand, chop them finely and sprinkle over the sardines before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for optimal freshness. Reheat quickly in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
