Marinated sardines are a delicious and healthy dish that can be enjoyed in many parts of the world. They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, calcium and vitamin D. You can marinate them with different ingredients such as lemon, garlic, soy sauce, ginger, parsley, thyme or peppers. But I am preparing today a very simple marinade, the result of which is excellent sardines, fresh and juicy, a recipe that reminds me of my childhood. My mother taught me this recipe, however she likes to add cloves too. Since I am not particularly found of cloves, I omitted them in this recipe. This sardines marinade recipe certainly reminds me of my childhood, and any ready made sardines I find in stores here in the UK were not tasting as I liked, so I managed to recreate the taste with my mother's help.
In this marinade I used:
1 kg of fresh or defrosted sardines (about 700g cleaned)
Water: as much as to cover the fish in your air-tight container (about 400ml)
You can measure the water quantity by submerging the fish into water in the container you intend to marinade them.
2 table spoons salt
1 table spoon sugar
1 tea spoon black peppercorns
1 tea spoon coriander seeds
Bay leaves
2 table spoons vinegar 5%
2 table spoons vegetable oil
Add cloves if you like
In this video, I will show you how to make marinated sardines, a healthy and delicious way to eat omega-3 rich fish. Sardines are low in mercury, high in protein, and packed with essential fatty acids that support your brain, heart, and immune system. They are also very affordable and easy to prepare. The marinade gives the fish a tangy and aromatic flavor that goes well with bread, salad, or rice. Watch the video to see how I make this simple and nutritious dish that you can enjoy any time of the year. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more recipes from my kitchen.
