Clean and dry the sardines, then coat them lightly with flour and half the salt.
Fry the sardines in half the olive oil for 2 minutes on each side and transfer them to paper towels.
Slice the onions into thin half moons.
Soften the onions, bay leaf, and remaining salt in the remaining olive oil for 12 minutes.
Add the grape vinegar, raisins, pine nuts, and black pepper, then cook for 5 minutes.
Layer the sardines and onion saor mixture in a container.
Rest the sarde in saor in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and serve cold.
💡 Tip: If you replace sardines with anchovies, fry the fish for less time; anchovies are thin and soften quickly in the marinade.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve sarde in saor cold as a meze, with optional toasted bread and lemon wedges.
