Not for me, too fishy. But if you like sardines you might like this!
Wow, this looks amazing! I’ve always loved sardines but never cooked them this way. Can’t wait to try it!
Simple and delicious! Even my picky son liked it! 😊
Sardines are healthy right? This is another fish recipe I can try, hopefully it works good.
Yes, sardines are super healthy! Rich in omega-3s and good for your heart. Hope you love this recipe!
Yum!!! Simple and delicious! Healthy too! I added some extra herbs ’cause why not? 🙂
I agree! The extra herbs really amp up the flavor. What other herbs did you use?
Lemon slices? Like, are you supposed to eat those? Seems weird to me.
Honestly, I had my doubts about sardines, but this recipe changed my mind! The herbs really brought it all together.
Made this yesterday and it was a hit! My family actually enjoyed it, and it was super easy to follow. Thanks for the recipe!
This recipe was amazing! The flavors are just perfect, especially with the lemon. Will definitely make again!
I accidentally used tuna instead of sardines. Taste was different but still good!!
Yum! I love fish and this recipe looks so fresh and healthy! I’ll try it with some baked potatoes too.
I dunno, sardines are kinda disgusting. Who eats this?
I think you put too much oregano? It was overpowering for me. 😬
I disagree! I thought the oregano gave it a nice flavor. Maybe try less next time? 🤷♀️
Too much oregano? Nah! That’s the secret, I love the herbs! Don’t be scared of flavor! 🍀
Sardines? Ugh. Should’ve just done chicken instead. I messed up the cooking time and the fish ended up dry.
Too fishy for me. Can’t say I enjoyed it. Maybe it’s just sardines, but it wasn’t my taste.
I totally get what you mean! Sardines can be super strong. Have you tried them with a different recipe, maybe something with cream or more spices? Just curious!
