Ingredients

  • 1 (3.75 ounce) can sardines drained
  • 1-2 tablespoons mayo
  • 1/2 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
  • 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon chopped dill
  • 1/8 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
  • Hot sauce optional, to taste
  • Seasoning salt to taste
  • For serving: bread, tomatoes, lettuce, etc.

Instructions

  • Drain the sardines then add them to a medium bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mash with a fork to combine. Taste and adjust as needed (e.g. add more salt or mayo... quantities in recipes like this are just a guideline!).
  • Serve in bread, lettuce wraps, etc.

Notes

  • I add a couple dashes of Frank's Red Hot. If you're not a hot sauce fan, you can definitely leave it out!
  • I love using Lawry's Seasoned Salt for extra flavor. Something like Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning would be great in here too, but the salt you usually use will work fine.
