Many of us need to eat more oily fish and this is a great way to add more to your diet. Roasted cauliflower has a wonderfully nutty flavour, which goes with the sardines so well.

Ingredients

Spray oil
200g cauliflower, chopped into bite-sized florets
1 yellow pepper, deseeded and chopped into 12 chunks
Small handful fresh dill, chopped
1 clove garlic, finely diced
1 lime, zest and juice
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 sardines, gutted and cleaned
100g mixed salad leaves

Method

Preheat the oven to 220^oC/Fan 200^oC.
Coat a roasting tin in spray oil. Place the cauliflower and pepper in the tin and roast in the oven for 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix together the dill, garlic, lime zest and juice to form the dressing. Season with black pepper and set aside until needed.
Place the sardines on a baking tray, season with black pepper and cook under a hot grill for 2 minutes on each side.
Divide the salad leaves between 2 plates and add the roasted vegetables. Top with sardines and drizzle over the dressing before serving.
