Drain the oil from the can of sardines into a medium bowl. Add the sardines.
To the bowl, add the diced avocado, chopped hot pepper, diced cucumber, capers, red onion, and fresh dill.
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and squeeze in the lemon juice.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Add the chopped fresh parsley.
Gently mix all ingredients together until well combined, breaking up the sardines slightly.
Serve the sardine mixture on toasted multigrain bread. Enjoy with crackers or roasted seaweed snacks if desired.
Best served immediately. Leftover sardine mixture keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days; do not assemble toast until ready to eat.
Prepare the sardine mixture up to 2 hours ahead and refrigerate. Toast and assemble just before serving to prevent sogginess.
Crusty sourdough, ciabatta, or whole grain bread holds up best to the sardine mixture and olive oil without falling apart.
Use sardines packed in oil rather than mustard or tomato sauce, and ensure the lemon juice is generous—it brightens and masks strong fish flavor.
Only if you use gluten-free bread. All other ingredients are naturally gluten-free.
Yes. Substitute with jalapeño, red pepper flakes, or sriracha for heat, or omit entirely for a mild version.
