| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| sardines | 4 as needed |
| cooking wine | 2 as needed |
| New Orleans seasoning blend | 35 as needed |

Clean the sardines: remove gills, innards, and scales. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

Make a few diagonal cuts on both sides of each fish to help the marinade penetrate. Add 2 tsp cooking wine and 35g New Orleans seasoning blend. Rub and pat the seasoning evenly over the fish. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for at least 2 hours — the longer, the more flavorful.

Once marinated, place the fish in an air fryer at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes. (Note: air fryer wattages vary, so adjust timing as needed.)

After 10 minutes, flip the fish to cook the other side.

Cook until both sides are golden brown.

Simple to make — even a kitchen beginner can nail it. Delicious and satisfying!
