Grilled Sardines

Ingredients

• 500 g Fresh sardines, gutted and cleaned
• 4 EL Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 Lemon, cut into wedges
• 1 TL Dried oregano
• 1/2 TL Garlic powder
• 1 Prise Sea salt flakes
• Nach Geschmack Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 EL Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Rinse the gutted sardines under cold water and pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels. Ensure they are as dry as possible for crispy skin.
2. In a large bowl, toss the sardines with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Ensure all sardines are well coated.
3. Preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat (about 200-220°C / 400-425°F). Lightly brush the grates or pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.
4. Carefully place the seasoned sardines on the hot grill or in the grill pan. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Once cooked, remove the sardines from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley.
6. Serve the grilled sardines immediately with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing. A simple Greek salad or crusty bread makes an excellent accompaniment.
