Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces brown bread slices
- 1 can sardines in olive oil (canned)
- 1 whole lemon
- 3 stalks spring green onions (scallions)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Start by finely slicing the spring green onions, both the green and white parts. Set aside.
Drain the sardines slightly, leaving a small amount of olive oil for extra flavor. Use a fork to break them into smaller chunks in a bowl, but don't mash completely.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze out the juice from one half. Slice the other half into thin wedges for serving.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the brown bread slices until golden and crispy on both sides. Alternatively, use a toaster for convenience.
Once the toast is ready, drizzle each slice lightly with olive oil to enhance its flavor.
Spread a generous portion of the sardines over each slice of toast.
Drizzle a small amount of fresh lemon juice over the sardines on each slice. Adjust the quantity based on taste preference.
Sprinkle the sliced spring green onions evenly across the sardine-topped toast.
Season the toasts with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and optionally, red chili flakes for added heat.
Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges on the side for extra tang. Enjoy!
