I brought some tinned fish back from my recent trip to Portugal. The first tin I’m using is sardines and why not make them the main star in a gourmet toast? It turned out great!

Ingredients

• 2 slices olive sour dough bread (I got mine at Whole Foods), regular sour dough works too
• Little pad of butter for pan toasting
• 4 tablespoons blue cheese spread (recipe here)
• 1 radish sliced thin
• Just a little micro-arugula to sprinkle over
• 2 cans of sardines in oil
• 2 teaspoons of fried capers (recipe here)
• Drizzle of garlic-infused olive oil (recipe here)
• Fresh lemon zest grated over

Instructions

1. Use cast iron pan set to medium high with a little but of butter to pan-toast the bread on both sides. Wait til the pan is hot and then put the bread in. It should only take a minute or so on each side
2. Let the toast cool and then spread the blue cheese dip in a thin layer over toast.
3. I used about 5 slices of radish for the next layer on each slice of bread.
4. Sprinkle a little micro-arugula over
5. Take the sardines out of the cans and set on paper towel. Dab over with a paper towel. A little oily is okay, but I don't want them too oily because we're adding olive oil at the end.
6. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the fried capers over each slice.
7. Drizzle the garlic olive oil over.
8. Finally, grate fresh lemon zest over.
