Clean the sardines and check around the bones.
Turn the tomatoes and garlic in the pot for 5 minutes.
Arrange the sardines in a single layer over the sauce so the fish do not break.
Cover and cook over low heat for 12 minutes.
Sprinkle parsley after removing from the heat and serve the pilaki warm.
Use a spatula when lifting sardines from the plate so the delicate flesh does not break.
💡 Tip: Arrange the fish in one layer so they do not fall apart.
