Ingredients

• 4 pieces brown bread slices
• 1 can sardines in olive oil (canned)
• 1 whole lemon
• 3 stalks spring green onions (scallions)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by finely slicing the spring green onions, both the green and white parts. Set aside.

Step 2

Drain the sardines slightly, leaving a small amount of olive oil for extra flavor. Use a fork to break them into smaller chunks in a bowl, but don't mash completely.

Step 3

Cut the lemon in half and squeeze out the juice from one half. Slice the other half into thin wedges for serving.

Step 4

Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the brown bread slices until golden and crispy on both sides. Alternatively, use a toaster for convenience.

Step 5

Once the toast is ready, drizzle each slice lightly with olive oil to enhance its flavor.

Step 6

Spread a generous portion of the sardines over each slice of toast.

Step 7

Drizzle a small amount of fresh lemon juice over the sardines on each slice. Adjust the quantity based on taste preference.

Step 8

Sprinkle the sliced spring green onions evenly across the sardine-topped toast.

Step 9

Season the toasts with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and optionally, red chili flakes for added heat.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges on the side for extra tang. Enjoy!
