SARDINE TOASTS WITH TOMATO AND SWEET ONION
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.

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.
SPINACH AND SARDINE SANDWICH
Whenever I fly, I like to go armed with lunch, as the food in airports tends to be both appalling and expensive. Lately I've hitting the road with sandwiches that combine produce with canned fish, like sardines, herring, trout or smoked salmon - all of them high in omega-3 fatty acids, packed with protein and delicious. In some of this week's sandwiches, I used small whole-wheat English muffins that were lightly toasted. The muffins won't fall apart, even with a juicy filling like Greek salad, and I like the size. This is inspired by the classic Mediterranean combination of sardines and spinach. I like to use lightly smoked sardines in olive oil for it.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat, and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the spinach. Turn up the heat, and wilt the spinach in the water left on the leaves after washing. Season with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat. Drain and press out excess water.
- Lightly toast the English muffin. Spread a little mustard if desired over the bottom half and top with the spinach. Lay the sardine fillets over the spinach, and douse with a little lemon juice. If you have a nice ripe in season tomato, lay over the sardines. Spread the top half of the English muffin with mayonnaise, and top the sandwich. Press down and cut in half, or wrap and refrigerate until ready to eat.
SARDINE SALAD
For a vivid take on lunchtime tuna salad, use oil-rich sardines and skip the mayonnaise. Emulsifying the deeply seasoned oil from the sardine tin with lemon juice and mustard makes the salad creamy like mayonnaise does but with flavors that are more intense and pronounced. Add any of the sharp, crunchy, fresh pops you like in your tuna or whitefish salad, such as capers, cornichons, pickled peppers or herbs, and eat this sardine salad over greens, on a bagel or English muffin, or between two slices of toast.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the red onion, lemon zest, lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Let sit about 5 minutes to mellow the onion's sting.
- Add the sardines and their oil, along with the mustard. Use a fork to mash the sardines and vigorously stir until the mixture is creamy. Add the celery, a few grinds of pepper, and capers or herbs, or a combination, if using. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt, pepper and lemon juice. (Sardine salad will keep, refrigerated, for 3 days.)

Tips:
- Choose the right sardines: Opt for high-quality canned sardines packed in olive oil or water. Avoid sardines packed in vegetable oil, as they tend to have a stronger flavor.
- Drain and rinse the sardines: Before using the sardines, drain them from their packing liquid and rinse them under cold water. This will remove excess salt and help prevent the salad from becoming too oily.
- Use fresh ingredients: Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and condiments to create a flavorful and vibrant salad. Fresh ingredients will add a crisp texture and a pop of color to the dish.
- Adjust the flavors to your liking: Feel free to adjust the amount of mayonnaise, mustard, and other seasonings to suit your taste. You can also add additional ingredients like chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced pickles, or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- Make it a meal: Serve the sardine salad sandwich with a side of fresh fruit, a simple green salad, or a hearty soup for a complete and satisfying meal.
