Spread the diced shallots evenly around the baking tray and gently sprinkle them with the butter cubes.
Lay the sardines on top and add some more shallots and butter cubes on top.
Drizzle with the lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and pour over 1-2 tablespoons of white wine.
You have two options to cook the sardines. The first is to preheat your oven to 250°C / 480°F with the top and bottom heating elements on, and cook for 10 minutes.
Alternatively, you can cook the sardines under the broiler with the dish close to the heating element for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the shallot garnish by pan-frying the sliced shallots in some oil until they become golden and crispy (about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally). (This step is optional).
When the sardines are done, spoon the cooking juices over them and sprinkle with parsley and the sautéed shallot garnish (if using).
Serve with a few slices of lemon.
