Ingredients

  • 12 fresh sardines, cleaned and gutted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Sardines

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, fresh parsley, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Pat the sardines dry with paper towels and brush them lightly with the garlic and herb mixture.

Grill the Sardines

Place the sardines on the preheated grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the sardines are cooked through and have nice grill marks.

Use a spatula to carefully turn the sardines to avoid breaking them.

Serve

Transfer the grilled sardines to a serving platter.

Garnish with additional fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Enjoy the sardines hot off the grill with a side of crusty bread or a fresh salad.

Enjoy your meal!
