Method

Preheat your grill to high.

Butterfly the sardines by removing heads, cutting the bellies, and lifting out the bones.

Form circles by tucking the tails into gill slits.

Season sardines and grill on a tray for 4 minutes until cooked through.

Fry parboiled potatoes in oil for 4 minutes until golden and crisp.

Whisk lemon juice into oil, add vegetables, and warm gently in a pan.

Stir fresh herbs into the warm sauce and season.

Toss salad leaves with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Serve sardines over potatoes with sauce vierge and dressed salad on the side.
