You'll nestle sardine fillets into the schmear, and pile a fresh fennel-radish salad on top. If you want a more filling meal, add a white bean salad or sliced summer tomatoes sprinkled with flaky sea salt. Oh, and a glass of white wine wouldn't hurt, either. P.S. If sardines are a little too "fishy" for you, swap in olive-oil packed tuna. No matter what you choose, make sure to buy sustainably-fished sardines or tuna. Ingredients ½ cup mayonnaise 2 teaspoons lemon zest plus 3 Tbsp. fresh juice (from 1 lemon) 1 clove garlic, grated ½ cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves 1 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced 2 radishes, thinly sliced 2 teaspoons olive oil ½ teaspoon kosher salt ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 4 slices multigrain bread, toasted 2 4¼-oz. cans smoked sardines, drained, halved lengthwise Directions Stir together mayonnaise, lemon zest, and garlic in a small bowl. Toss together parsley, fennel, radishes, lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Spread 2 tablespoons mayonnaise onto each toast. Arrange 3 sardine pieces on each toast; top with fennel salad. Rate it Print
