Griddled Sardines With Tomato and Caper Sauce

I am a fish lover, especially oily fish. I found this recipe on the bbc website and will try it tonight. It was suggested to serve with toasted bread.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 1  tablespoon olive oil
• 200  g tomatoes, chopped
• 1  tablespoon tomato ketchup
• 2  teaspoons capers
•  fresh ground black pepper
• 4  sardines, gutted, gills, head, tail and backbone removed
• 1  tablespoon olive oil

Directions

1. For the tomato and caper sauce, heat the olive oil in a small pan, add all the remaining sauce ingredients and cook over a gentle heat for five minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened slightly.
2. For the sardines, rub the sardines with oil. Heat a griddle pan until smoking hot and griddle the sardines for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
3. To serve, place the toasted bread onto a serving plate, top with the griddled sardines and pour over the tomato and caper sauce.
