Spicy sardines

Ingredients

• Cooking spray (or a drop of olive oil)
• 2 tbsp curry paste (Thai anyone?)
• 1 lemon, juice and grated peel, plus lemon wedges for serving
• 1 pinch salt and milled pepper
• 8 sardines, scaled and gutted

 

Method

• Mix paste, lemon juice, peel and seasoning together.
• Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over a high heat.
• Rub sardines with a little oil or spray and cook for about 5 minutes.
• Brush fish with marinade, turn and continue to cook.
• Check fish is cooked by pinching the thickest part of the flesh – the skin should pull away easily.
• Serve with lemon wedges
