Categories     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large bunches of baby arugula, trimmed
16 fresh sardines, gills and innards removed
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare a stove-top griddle or outdoor grill. Rinse the arugula, shaking off any excess water. Arrange on a large platter and set aside.
  • Rinse the sardines in cold water, rubbing to remove the scales. Wipe dry. In a bowl, combine the sardines and olive oil and toss to coat. Grill over very hot coals or heat about 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the sardines are crispy and golden. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer immediately to the arugula-lined platter and serve with lemon wedges.

GRILLED SARDINES



Grilled Sardines image

What to do about seafood? Nutritionists say we should eat more, that many types of fish are nutritious and contain fats that seem to protect the heart. I know from experience that many of them can make for fine meals. If you've only had sardines from a can, you may turn up your nose at them. Fresh ones will change your mind. Brush them with olive oil, toss a few sprigs of rosemary onto a hot grill, and grill them. Sardines take two to three minutes to grill and about that long to eat. They're a rare treat and a great nutritional package, containing omega-3 fats, selenium, vitamin B12, calcium, niacin and phosphorus.

Time 15m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 6

24 medium or large sardines, cleaned
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt
freshly ground pepper
A handful of fresh rosemary sprigs
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Prepare a hot grill, making sure the grill is oiled. Rinse the sardines, and dry with paper towels. Toss with the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  • When the grill is ready, toss the rosemary sprigs directly on the fire. Wait for the flames to die down, then place the sardines directly over the heat, in batches if necessary. Grill for a minute or two on each side, depending on the size. Transfer from the grill to a platter using tongs or a wide metal spatula, and serve with lemon wedges.

1/4 cup Portuguese olive oil, plus 1/4 cup
1/8 cup white wine vinegar

GRILLED SARDINE TARTINES WITH ONION AND ARUGULA



Grilled Sardine Tartines with Onion and Arugula image

In French, the term _tartine_ can refer to a buttered slice of bread that's topped with a spread, or an open-faced sandwich, such as the one here. _Piment d'Espelette_, a dried red pepper from the French Basque region, can be found online at surfasonline.com. If you can't find fresh sardines, use trout or branzino fillets instead.

GRILLED FRESH SARDINES WITH ARUGULA AND WARM VINAIGRETTE



Grilled Fresh Sardines With Arugula and Warm Vinaigrette image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield Four first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 dozen fresh sardines (see note)
2 large bunches arugula (about 1/2 pound), thoroughly washed, tough stems removed and large leaves torn

Steps:

  • Prepare the grill, adjusting the rack 2 inches above the coals.
  • In a small saucepan, whisk together the vinegar, 1/2 cup of the oil, the mustard, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt until well blended. Set aside.
  • Clean the sardines by pinching the gills on both sides at the base of the head and pulling the gills out. Slide your fingers along the belly cavity and pull out the innards. Rinse the sardines in cold water, rubbing the skin to get rid of the scales. Wipe the sardines dry with paper towels, toss them with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and refrigerate.
  • When the grill is very hot, grill the sardines directly on the rack or in a hinged grilling basket until they are crispy and well browned, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the sardines to a platter and season on both sides with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the vinaigrette in the saucepan over high heat until it just begins to bubble. (Do not let it boil.) Remove from the heat. Put the arugula in a large bowl and toss it with the warm vinaigrette. Divide the greens among 4 plates and top each with 3 sardines. Serve immediately.

SIMPLE GRILLED SARDINES



Simple Grilled Sardines image

Grilled fresh sardines are often offered on restaurant menus, but it's very easy to make them at home, whether over hot coals or under the broiler. At the fishmonger, look for firm, shiny, glistening specimens. Sardines are a sustainable fish choice and are high in healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Most importantly, they are extremely delicious. For a Mediterranean touch, grill the fish on fig leaves: After cooking the sardines on one side, lay four fig leaves on the grill and place two fish, cooked side up, on top of each leaf to finish cooking. The fig leaves will add a subtle perfume to the sardines (they look beautiful, too), but they are not edible.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 fresh sardines (about 1 1/2 pounds), cleaned and scaled
Salt and pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium fennel bulbs, trimmed and very finely sliced
Lemon wedges
2 tablespoons chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire or stovetop grill pan, or light the broiler.
  • Season sardines inside and out with salt and pepper and paint both sides lightly with olive oil.
  • Lay sardines on the grill and cook them on one side for about 2 minutes, until nicely browned. (Sardines rarely stick to the grill.) Carefully flip sardines and cook for about 2 minutes more, until just done.
  • Transfer each portion to individual plates. Put the sliced fennel in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Dress with about 2 tablespoons olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. Place a pile of dressed fennel evenly on each plate. Serve with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of parsley.

SARDINE TOASTS WITH TOMATO AND SWEET ONION



Sardine Toasts With Tomato and Sweet Onion image

A classic pantry meal, sardine toasts are just the thing to eat when you're starving and there's nothing in the house for dinner. If you don't have tomatoes, just leave them out. With their saline flavor and buttery texture, all sardines need is some good bread and a little crunchy onion to set them off.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, easy, for one, for two, lunch, quick, snack, weekday, finger foods, sandwiches, main course

Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 thick slices crusty sourdough bread
1 garlic clove, halved
Softened butter, as needed
1 large ripe tomato, thinly sliced
1 can sardines (6 to 7 ounces), deboned if you like
1/4 small sweet or red onion, thinly sliced
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Fresh lemon juice, to taste
Flaky sea salt
Coarsely ground black pepper
Fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)

Steps:

  • Toast the bread under a broiler (on both sides) or in the toaster.
  • While the toast is still warm, immediately rub it (aggressively!) with the cut side of the garlic clove, then spread toast generously with butter. Top butter with tomato slices and lightly salt them.
  • Top tomatoes with sardines and then onion slices. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then season with more salt and pepper. Garnish with basil if you like and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To ensure the sardines are cooked properly, grill them over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are just cooked through.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the sardines in a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • To make the onion and arugula salad, simply combine the onion, arugula, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl and toss to coat.
  • To assemble the tartines, spread the goat cheese on the bread slices, top with the sardines and onion and arugula salad, and drizzle with olive oil.
  • For a more flavorful tartine, use a variety of different types of bread, such as sourdough, rye, or whole wheat.
  • You can also add other toppings to the tartines, such as sliced tomatoes, avocado, or hard-boiled eggs.
