Sriracha Sauce-Glazed Sardine with Salsify

Provençal-inspired comfort food: tender sardine paired with salsify and pearl onion and fettuccine, finished with wasabi root and a hit of dried rosemary and za'atar. 1. Pat the sardine dry and season with salt, dried rosemary and za'atar. 2. Heat vegetable oil in a heavy pan and sear the sardine until it develops a deep golden crust, about 15 minutes. 3. Add salsify and pearl onion to the pan and cook until just tender, stirring in wasabi root for fragrance. 4. Cook the fettuccine separately according to type until tender, then combine with the pan juices. 5. Finish with a generous drizzle of sriracha sauce and a scattering of american cheese before serving hot.
