Peel the carrots and slice them into thin rounds. Put them in a pan with a glass of water and a pinch of salt, cover and cook for 10 minutes until just tender.
Uncover, let the water evaporate, then add the olive oil, the crushed garlic and the cumin. Fry for 2 minutes and keep warm.
Pat the sardines dry and season with salt. Heat a non-stick pan over high heat without oil and cook the sardines 3 minutes per side until the skin is golden and crisp.
Serve the sardines on the carrots with the lemon wedge. Leftovers keep well for lunch the next day.
