Pan Fried Sardines (Sardalya Tava)

1 lb sardines,
½ cup canola oil
½ cup flour
1 tsp salt to taste
Lemon wedges, onion and lettuce for garnish

Cut the heads off (optional, heads absorb too much oil). Gut the sardines and wash with cold water, drain. Put them in a bowl, sprinkle the salt and blend.Pour the oil into a large skillet and heat it up over high-medium heat. Place the flour in a plate and dip the sardines by holding from their tail. To remove the excess flour, shake the fish off. Fry till they turn to a red fried color, approximately for 4-5 minutes. Turn halfway through. When they are done, place the fried sardines on a plate with paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Serve with lemon wedges, onion and lettuce.
ENJOY

Broiled Sardines (Firinda Kizarmis Sardalya)

1 lb (~450gr) sardines
1 tbsp salt
3 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp thyme
Juice of ½ lemon
1 clove garlic, minced

Cut the heads off and gut the sardines. Wash them under cold water and drain. If you like you can take the bones out and form sardine fillets. Then, mix all the ingredients with sardines in a bowl and leave them for marinating in the fridge at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven at 400F (200C) and place sardines on a baking tray. I like the grill stripes on fish, so I placed a cooling rack on a tray and broiled sardines on it(Fats of sarnines will drop on the tray). Bake for 10 minutes and then switch to broil. Broil both sides for 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown.
Broiled sardines are good to go with arugula, radish, Turkish coleslaw, onion salad and lemon.
ENJOY

Firini onceden 200 C (400F) isitin ve baliklari firin tepsisine dizin. Ben baliklarin uzerinde izgara cizgilerini sevdigim icin, firin tepsisinin uzerine tel izgara koydum ve onun uzerinde baliklari pisirdim (Sardalyalarin yagi tepsiye damlayacaktir). Yaklasik 10 dakika pisirdikten sonra, ustten kizartmaya ayarlayin (broil) ve 5-7 dakika arasi damak zevkinize gore uzerleri kizarana dek kizartin, sonra baliklari ters cevirip tekrar 5-7 dakika boyunca ustten kizartin.
Firinda kizarmis sardalyalari yaninda, roka, turp, sogan salatasi ya da beyaz lahana salatasi ve limon ile servis yapabilirsiniz.
