Sardines with toast

I was watching one of my favorite shows, Good Eats. I saw this recipe on one of the episodes, called sherried-sardine toast.

2 3.75 ounce cans of sardines
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar (I used rice vinegar)
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest from one lemon
a few thin slices of onion (optional)
salt and pepper to taste (coarse salt is preferrable)
4 thick slices of bread
1/2 avocado

1. Open the cans of sardines. Drain the oil from one can into a small bowl and reserve. Drain the oil of the second can in a medium bowl.

2. In the medium oil, whisk with vinegar, parsley, zest and pepper. Add all of the sardines and onions. Toss to coat allow to marinate for at least one hour.


3. When the hour is over, use the remaining oil to brush the bread and toast until nice and brown.
4. Cut your avocado in half. Use a fork to smash the avocado and spread onto your toast.


5. Spread some of the sardines on top of the toast.

6. Finish it off with some lemon juice, salt, pepper. Add more parsley if you want to.
