Wash and gut the sardines. Remove the heads, cut open the sardines, and remove the central bones. Let the opened sardines dry on kitchen paper. To marinate, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, salt, pepper, and lemon zest well. Place the sardines on a platter with the marinade and cover with cling film. Chill for 1 hour. Heat a pan and fry the sardines for about 2 minutes, first on the skin side, then for 2 minutes on the flesh side. Drizzle with the remaining marinade, if desired. Serve with a salad, such as tomato or fennel.
