Sardines and other tinned fish are swimming up the trend charts right now. Turn them into a proper chef snack with olive oil–packed sardines, blistered tomatoes, shallots, and Tomatador-soaked bread. Smoked paprika, tomato powder, garlic, and quickly sautéed sardines build a zesty, layered bite that’s simple enough for a weeknight staple.
