Directions

Step

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.

Step

Place the cleaned and scaled sardines in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step

Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step

Remove the sardines from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and place them on the grill.

Step

Grill the sardines for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have a slight char.

Step

Carefully remove the sardines from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.

Step

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the grilled sardines for an extra burst of citrus flavor.

Step

Serve the Spanish Grilled Sardines immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Tips for this recipe

Sardines are delicate and can easily stick to the grill, so be sure to oil the grates well. Alternatively, you can grill the sardines on a piece of aluminum foil lightly brushed with oil. The grilled sardines pair beautifully with a side of crusty bread, a fresh green salad, or a traditional Spanish tomato-based sauce called “mojo.” Enjoy this seafood delicacy with a glass of chilled white wine to complement the flavors and complete the Mediterranean experience.
