Print Recipe

Ingredients

Four 4- to 4 1/2-oz cans of large sardines in olive oil-drained, halved lengthwise & boned
1 1/2 tbsps unsalted butter, softened
2 tbsps sliced parsley
Salt
2 1/2 tbsps whole-grain mustard
1 small shallot, thinly sliced, slices separated into rings
1/2 c heavy cream
1/3 c fine dry bread crumbs
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper

Directions

Step #1 Preheat the broiler.
Step #2 In a medium bowl, the parsley, mix the bread crumbs with 1 1/2 tbsps of the mustard, butter, shallot & crushed red pepper.
Step #3 Spice up lightly with salt.
Step #4 In a medium, shallow baking dish, whisk the heavy cream with the remaining 1 tbsp of mustard.
Step #5 Arrange the sardines in the baking dish, skin side down.
Step #6 Scatter the bread-crumb mixture on top.
Step #7 Broil the sardines 6 inches from the heat for 1 min & 30 seconds, or until heated through & golden brown.
Step #8 Serve at once.
Step #9 Wine Recommendation: A tart, palate-cleansing Italian white will check the assertive flavors here.
Step #10 Consider the 2002 Kris Pinot Grigio or the 2002 Anselmi Capitel Foscarino.
