1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

2. For the stuffing, combine the pine nuts with breadcrumbs, parsley, golden raisins, and capers with just enough olive oil to make a wet, sandy mixture.

3. Lay the sardine fillets skin side down and fill with breadcrumb mix, then roll up each fillet as it is filled.

4. Arrange the sardines tightly in a baking dish, placing a lemon slice between each. Drizzle with more olive oil and bake for 15 minutes.
