Fresh Sardines on toast

Brush the bread with olive oil and grill until just golden on the barbecue. When slightly cooled rub with a cut garlic clove on both sides.

Mix together the tomatoes, olives and basil and spoon onto the bread. Brush the sardines with oil and grill skin side down for 2-3 minutes until just cooked. Then place one on each piece of bread and finish with a squeeze of lemon ad a pinch of crunchy sea salt.
