Ingredients
-
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon ground paprika
-
¼ large onion, diced
-
½ teaspoon tomato paste
-
1 ½ cups halved cherry tomatoes
-
½ cup white cooking wine
-
¼ cup water
-
1 tablespoon fish sauce
-
2 (4 ounce) cans sardines, drained
-
2 limes, juiced, divided
Directions
-
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat until warm. Add garlic powder and paprika; cook until you can smell the spices, about 1 minute. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in tomato paste and cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer. Add cherry tomatoes and mix until well combined. Cover the pan and cook until tomatoes begin to release their liquid, about 5 minutes.
-
While tomatoes are cooking, combine remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil with 1/2 of the lime juice. Add sardines and gently toss to coat with lime marinade.
-
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
-
Remove the lid from the skillet. Pour cooking wine in with onion and tomatoes; stir well. Add water and fish sauce; bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until liquid begins to reduce, about 5 minutes.
-
Remove sardines from the marinade and place on top of tomato sauce. Discard remaining marinade.
-
Place under the preheated broiler until sardines are well cooked and some of the tomatoes are charred, 4 to 5 minutes.
-
Pour remaining lime juice over the sardines and serve.
Cook's Note:
Skinless and boneless canned sardines are best, but bone-in is okay, too. In Asian stores, you can sometimes find Filipino canned sardines in tomato sauce. But, when you can't find them, this recipe is a very easy way to make that delicious sauce.
