Soak the raisins in hot water for 10 minutes and drain.
Toast the breadcrumbs in a pan for 4 minutes, until lightly colored.
Mix the pine nuts, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, half the olive oil, salt, and black pepper with the breadcrumbs.
Open the sardine fillets skin side down and divide the filling among them.
Roll the fillets and arrange them in an oven dish with the bay leaves, leaving space between them.
Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and bake at 190°C for 14 minutes.
Rest the fish for 4 minutes and serve with lemon.
💡 Tip: Do not roll the sardines too tightly; the breadcrumb filling swells in the oven, and a tight roll tears the fish skin.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve sarde a beccafico with arugula, lemon wedges, and optional plain potato salad for a light fish dinner.
