Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain the sardines from the can, remove any large bones, and flake them into a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and fresh parsley. Add them to the bowl with the sardines.
Add lemon juice, black pepper, salt, and olive oil to the bowl. Mix everything until well combined.
Roll out the dairy-free puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface if needed to prevent sticking.
Cut each pastry sheet into 6 equal squares or rectangles, depending on preference.
Place a spoonful of the sardine mixture in the center of each pastry square.
Fold the pastry over to form a triangle or rectangle seal, pressing the edges with a fork to crimp.
Brush the tops of the pastry with dairy-free milk to encourage a golden-brown finish.
Place the puffs onto the prepared baking sheet evenly spaced.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
