Use small sardines for this recipe. You can add any other herbs or spices you like here. This dish is also lovely at room temperature, which makes it perfect to prepare in advance.
____Heat your oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas 6). To fillet the sardines, cut off the heads, then make a slit down the side of each fish & remove the guts. Open out each sardine like a book so it is still hinged together at the tail & place, skin-side up, on a chopping board. Press each sardine lightly, yet firmly, to open out. Turn each over & pull out the backbone. Cut off the tail.
