Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the 8 sardines dry with paper towels and arrange them in a single layer in a baking dish.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons parsley, 1 teaspoon thyme, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the sardines.
Step 3
Season the sardines with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Lay the lemon slices over the top of the fish.
Step 4
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the sardines are opaque and flake easily with a fork, and the edges are lightly browned.
Step 5
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Serve hot, spooning any pan juices over the fish.
