Marinated Sardine Bruschetta with Rocket & Walnut Pesto

To prepare the pesto, place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Keep the pesto refrigerated until ready to use (it can be made the day before).

Place the cleaned sardine fillets in a shallow dish. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, and a pinch of salt. Pour the mixture over the fillets and sprinkle with some freshly ground white pepper. Refrigerate to marinate.

Next, prepare the bruschetta. Use either soft fresh bread or toast the slices if you prefer. Spread a layer of the prepared pesto over the bread, top with marinated sardines, and garnish with cherry tomatoes.

Serve immediately.
