Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the sardines under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season the sardines with salt and black pepper.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sardines to the skillet, skin side up, and sear for 2-3 minutes or until the skin is crispy. Flip the sardines over and sear for another 2-3 minutes or until cooked through.
3
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes or until the sardines are cooked through.
4
While the sardines are baking, prepare the garlic cream sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes or until slightly thickened.
5
To serve, place the sardines on a plate and spoon the garlic cream sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh dill and lemon wedges.
