6.Once it boils, turn down the heat and let it simmer until the tomato sauce thickens.
7.Then set the sauce to the side so it can completely cool.
8.Pour the cooled tomato sauce all over the sardines, sprinkle with parsley and drizzle a little more extra virgin olive oil.
9.In a preheated 400F degree (200C) oven bake for about 20-25 minutes.
10.While it’s baking, check to see if the sauce needs a little help by adding some water.

I use the canned one. Take a leek or green onion w some olive oil sautéed, add some garlic then tomato paste (or sauce). Add the sardines. Cook a min or two. Add salt if needed. Then fresh chopped cilantro. This is my favorite way to eat sardines.
My mother would scale and clean sardines, cutting shallow slashes into the flesh. Then she would mix salt and chile flakes or mashed fresh chiles and rub it all over the fish. After that, the sardines are pan fried until lightly browned and cooked.
My Dad would simply broil them with olive oil, lemon, salt and pepper but here's one that looks good to me:
