Summer Sardines

I have always loved fresh sardines, to me they speak of summer and all its flavours. This is a simple recipe, but tasty and satisfying. It's also a bit different so you can impress your friends, without having to go too much trouble.

Ingedients:
10 Sardines(this recipe is for 2 I allow 5 per person)
500gms of potato, cut into wedges, or chips
2 Roasted capsicum cut into strips
1tsp Hot paprika
1tsp smoked paprika
2 rough chopped tomatoes
1/2 Spanish onion diced
Diced Corriander
Juice of half a lemon and the other half sliced to dress

Method:
1) Cook the potato Microwave or boil, your choice but make sure its firm, we are going to bake it.
2) Pour 1tbsp Olive oil into a dish with paprika and coat potato pieces
3) Place potato on a baking sheet in a 180c oven until golden brown 20-30 minutes
4) Meanwhile assemble and combine the other ingreients and mix in a bowl
5) When the potatoes are nearly done heat up a pan or the BBQ and cook your sardines until the skin starts to go crunchy, make sure not to let them burn, but you do want the crunchy skin.
6) Combine the cooked potato and other ingredients, and put them on your plates
7) Place the sardines on top and drizzle a little lemon juice

Ready to Eat, Had this last night it's really good.


NOTE:
Some people don't like to use whole sardines, if you can't get fillets, they are easy to fillet yourself. Take a sharp knife and remove the head, turn the fish onto its spine and widen the cut on its belly now turn it over and flatten it out with your hand. Now when you turn it on its back you should be able to pick up the spine at the head end and simple pull down and it should come straight out, cut the tail if you need to. Now you have fillets.
