Ingredients
  • 54 g canned sardines in olive oil
  • 12 g Spanish rice and vermicelli mix
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 45 g fennel bulb
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 pinch salt
Method
  1. 01In a small bowl, simmer the Spanish rice and vermicelli mix in 60 mL water for 8 to 10 minutes until tender and liquid is absorbed.
  2. 02Toss the thinly shaved fennel bulb with fresh lemon juice and a tiny pinch of salt to soften and brighten.
  3. 03Heat half of the extra-virgin olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant without scorching.
  4. 04Add the drained sardines to the hot pan. Sear gently for 1 minute per side until heated through and lightly crisp at the edges (reaching an internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
  5. 05Spread the warm Spanish rice onto a small plate. Arrange the seared sardines on top and dress with the shaved fennel salad.
  6. 06Drizzle remaining olive oil over the fish and shower with finely chopped flat-leaf parsley before serving.
