Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 (4.2-oz) cans sardines packed in olive oil, drained, split, and patted dry
1/2 cup fine cornmeal
Coarse salt
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a high-sided medium skillet over medium heat. (Test temperature by adding a little cornmeal; the oil should bubble immediately.) Toss sardines in cornmeal until coated, shaking off excess.
  • Fry until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Season with salt and serve with lemon.
