Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the butterflied anchovy fillets under cold water to remove any blood, then pat them dry and arrange skin-side down in a single layer in a shallow dish.

  2. 2

    Sprinkle evenly with the salt and pour over the sherry vinegar until the fillets are just submerged, then cover and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours until the flesh turns opaque white.

  3. 3

    Drain off the vinegar and gently rinse the cured fillets, then arrange them snugly in a clean serving dish.

  4. 4

    Scatter the minced garlic and chopped parsley evenly over the top.

  5. 5

    Drizzle generously with the olive oil, cover, and chill for at least 1 hour to let the flavors marry before serving cold with crusty bread.
