Grilled Sardines: Barbecue Recipe

Ingredients:

• 6 fresh sardines, cleaned and gutted
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat the grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix together garlic, parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Brush both sides of each sardine with the garlic mixture. Place the sardines on the grill and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is opaque and the skin is slightly charred. Remove from the grill and serve hot with lemon wedges.

Verdict:

Grilled sardines are a delicious way to enjoy this sustainable and nutritious fish. The simple garlic and parsley marinade adds just the right amount of flavor without overpowering the delicate taste of the sardines. Serve these hot off the grill with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a summertime meal that’s sure to please.

Serving Suggestions:

Grilled sardines pair well with a variety of sides, but we recommend serving them with a fresh tomato salad or roasted vegetables for a healthy and flavorful meal. You can also serve them with crusty bread and a glass of white wine for a simple yet elegant dinner.
