   Rub the salt from the sardines. Remove the heads, remove scales and bones, separating the two fillets and rinse the sardines fillets in cold water . Chop the pieces and set aside.
2. 2
   To prepare the salsa, heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic cut into fine slices and fry it for a couple of minutes and remove before it becomes brown. The garlic is only used to scent the oil, than add the chopped sardines and let them melt slowly in the hot oil.
