Fisherman's Board - Sardine Bruschetta
What's great about it
If you want a budget-friendly healthy meal that takes just 2 minutes to make - you can't go past my fisherman's board Sardine Bruschetta. Sardines are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids that are anti-inflammatory to the body and critical for good health. They are essential fats that must be obtained from our diet. Omega-3s support the body’s health in every way and vital in the fight against diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Omega 3s help to lower cholesterol, reduce high blood pressure, nourish the immune system and reduce symptoms of arthritis and depression.

2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice and a little zest
generous grind of black pepper

baby spinach or watercress
1 slice rye sourdough or your choice of bread

Notes and Inspiration
Use coriander (cilantro) lime and chilli in place of the parsley and lemon and avocado. To make the green tomato salsa combine 1 green tomato with a little finely diced green chilli, lime juice, coriander and shallot.
Add olives or capers and serve with a shaved fennel salad.
Use wild salmon in place of the sardines.
Serve with a hard boiled organic egg.
