"Whether grilled, baked or cured, sardines are so versatile...We had a few friends who had never eaten them before, so our goal was to make them love them - and this dish did just that!"

Ingredients

12 x 85g whole sardines, scaled and gutted
500g cherry tomatoes, on the vine
¼ bunch marjoram, leaved picked
1 large lemon, halved, then finely sliced
1 tsp dried greek oregano
Flaky salt
80ml extra virgin olive oil

Method

Step 1.

Preheat the oven to 180C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Step 2.

Place the sardines on the baking tray in a single row. Scatter the cherry tomatoes, marjoram leaves and lemon slices around the sardines. Sprinkle with the dried oregano, season with salt flakes and drizzle with the olive oil.

Step 3.

Place in the oven and roast for 20 minutes or until just cooked. (You’ll know they’re cooking when the meat comes off the bone when gently pressed.)
