How to Make Alton Brown S Sherried Sardine Toast

1. In a bowl, combine the sardines, sherry, olive oil, garlic, and thyme. Gently toss to coat the sardines evenly.
2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, allowing the sardines to marinate in the flavorful mixture.
3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. While the sardines marinate, toast the bread slices to your desired level of crispness. You can do this in a toaster, oven, or on a stovetop.
5. Remove the marinated sardines from the refrigerator. Drain off excess marinade, reserving about 1 tablespoon.
6. Spread the reserved marinade evenly over the toasted bread slices.
7. Top each bread slice with 2-3 marinated sardines.
8. Grate the lemon zest over the sardines.
9. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over each sardine toast.
10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the sardines are heated through and the toast is slightly golden.
11. Serve immediately and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
