Sardine Avocado Sandwich Diet

A while back, I read on Seriouseats.com that Alton Brown lost over 50 pounds by eating this Sardine-Avocado sandwich. I was interested, especially since I’ve never really tried sardines on a sandwich (has anyone, really?) so I made the open-faced sandwich:

It’s actually REALLY good and I can see how Alton Brown eats so many of them; I mushed up the sardines with the oil mixture (do NOT get sardines in water because that is just…gross). Then I sliced half an avocado, placed it on top of the sardines, and happily ate the sandwich (I made two because I was super hungry and I didn’t want to put the other half of the avocado in the fridge). The sardines don’t have too much of a fishy taste and I did add a little salt and pepper to kick up the flavor a little, but this is definitely an amazing snack that is really easy to make AND super healthy!
