Instructions
Prepare the Anchovies
Ensure your anchovies are very fresh. Clean and fillet them, removing the heads, guts, and central bone. Rinse them thoroughly under cold running water and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Arrange the fillets in a single layer in a non-reactive dish (glass or ceramic.)
Marinate
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, thinly sliced or minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Combine
Pour the marinade evenly over the anchovy fillets, making sure they are fully submerged. If needed, add a little more olive oil to ensure coverage.
Chill
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the lemon juice to "cook" the fish. The fish will turn opaque.
Serve
Before serving, allow the anchovies to come to room temperature for about 10-15 minutes. Serve with crusty bread, on a fresh salad, or as part of an antipasto platter.
