Method 1 of 3: Whipping up a treat

1. 1 Eat sardines straight from the can. You don't have to come up with a complicated recipe to enjoy sardines! Just grab a fork and enjoy them straight out of the jar for a healthy protein snack. Season the sardines with a drop of lemon juice, hot sauce, or balsamic vinegar if desired.
   • Canned sardines are great to take with you on a hike or hide in an emergency kit.
2. 2 Add sardines to salad. Sardines can add an extra touch of flavor to any salad! Add them to your favorite salad, or chop up sardines, oranges, olives and hard-boiled eggs and toss them into the lettuce leaves. Top with a simple dressing and enjoy a delicious meal!
3. 3 Serve them on toast. The salty and rich taste of sardines is the perfect accompaniment to crispy bread. Toast a slice of your favorite bread, brush it with butter and top with a few sardines. Alternatively, spread mayonnaise on the toast, top the sardines and sprinkle with a pinch of dill.
4. 4 Make a snack with sardine crackers. Take your favorite crackers and season them with sardines. If you prefer hot snacks, add some hot sauce on top! You can also spread mayonnaise or mustard on the cracker before adding the sardines.
5. 5 Add sautéed sardines to your pasta dish. Pour some olive oil into a saucepan. Add the sardines and chopped garlic there and cook them over medium heat until the garlic begins to brown. Combine sardines and garlic with your favorite noodles. Try adding them to fettuccine noodles and alfredo sauce, or mix them with linguini, capers, and lemon.
6. 6 Put them on your pizza. Sardines are a great addition to any pizza! Add them to a classic pepperoni pizza for extra depth. Alternatively, spread the stewed onions over the dough, sprinkle chopped sardines on top, sprinkle it all with olive oil and add salt, pepper and sour cream. Bake the pizza for 10-15 minutes at 230 ° C.

Method 2 of 3: Recipe for making a fish breakfast

1. 1 Preheat oven and dish. Set the oven temperature to 260 ° C and preheat the oven dish for 5 minutes.
2. 2 Pour chopped shallots, garlic, parsley and sardines onto a preheated dish. Take a chopping board and a sharp knife and finely chop 1 small shallots, 2 cloves of garlic and 3 sprigs of parsley. Add these ingredients and canned sardines to a warm dish and sprinkle with black pepper on top.
3. 3 Cook for 6 minutes and then remove the dish and add the eggs. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 6 minutes. Use potholders to gently pull the dish out of the oven. Break 4 eggs into a bowl and pour them onto a serving platter. Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
4. 4 Bake the dish for another 7 minutes, then set it aside for 5 minutes. Return the dish carefully to the oven and bake for another 7 minutes.During this time, the protein will be baked, but at the same time it will remain elastic. Remove the dish with an oven mitt and set it aside for 5 minutes to cook until tender. Serve a fisherman's breakfast with toast and hot sauce.

Method 3 of 3: Fried sardines

1. 1 Prepare your ingredients. Rinse and dry the sardines. Pour ½ cup (60 g) flour into a bowl and add salt and pepper. In another bowl, beat 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) water. Add 1 cup (120 g) bread crumbs to another bowl.
2. 2 Dip the sardines in flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs. Dip 2 or 3 sardines in flour and roll until covered with a thin layer of flour. Shake off excess flour, then dip the sardines into the beaten eggs. Transfer them to a bowl of breadcrumbs and cover them evenly. Repeat until all the sardines are coated in breadcrumbs.
3. 3 Cook the sardines in oil for 6-7 minutes. Heat 1-2 cups (120 ml) oil over medium heat in a skillet or cast iron skillet. Grill in batches, one layer of sardines at a time. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip the sardines over and cook until cooked for about 3 more minutes.
   • Fry all the sardines this way.
   • Add more oil to the pan as needed.
4. 4 Season the sardines with salt. Gently transfer the toasted sardines to a plate of paper towels. Season them with salt while they are hot.
5. 5 Serve with fried capers and parsley. Heat 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of oil in the same skillet you used earlier. Add ½ cup (60 g) dried and washed capers and ½ cup (60 g) fresh parsley leaves. Roast for 1 minute and then cover the sardines with them. Bon Appetit!
