Looking for an easy way to cook fresh sardines indoors without the strong smell of grilling? This quick, 10-minute oven-baked sardine recipe is the perfect solution. Inspired by the coastal bistros of Brittany, France, this simple one-pan dish uses fresh, gutted sardines cooked on a bed of finely diced shallots, butter, dry white wine, and lemon juice. By flash-cooking the fish under a hot broiler (250°C / 480°F), the sardines stay moist, fatty, and full of flavor. A healthy, budget-friendly oily fish recipe that takes almost zero prep time!

Thank you for this. I adore sardines and always look for new ways to enjoy them. ☘️💚☘️
I don't mind if you leave the head on, but you can keep the guts, thank you very much.
Do you have any tips on cooking tinned sardines?
Looks great.
Unfortunately N.E. Atlantic fish stocks of mackerel are at risk of collapse at the moment to overfishing. My favourite oily fish, but its recomended not to buy them at the moment.
I do love sardines as well though & will be giving this a go.
I have one of these portable wood-pellet fired pizza ovens. You can cook dishes like this in them, great for meals outside on a sunny day. 🐟
but what if I want the smell?
Those sardines look lovely. Not like the canned sardines I was fed for lunch as a child on toast!
Wow that does look delicious, and so affordable too!
Top ; en enlevant la tête les sardines ne sentent plus «mauvais » .
I'm pretty sure you can cook a few thin lemon slices in the oven with this. They should be delicious, You can eat them peel and all, and still have fresh ones left over for garnish. Unless of course, that is forbidden for some reason. You don't want too much lemon.
OK, so no head for you, what about guts? I think I have seen whole sardines available frozen, but they had heads and did not look to be "cleaned", so I was discouraged.
