Sardinas a la Plancha

Ingredients

• 12 whole sardines
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 whole lemon
• 1 bunch fresh parsley
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat (about 400°F).

2. 2

   Clean the sardines by removing the scales and innards if not already prepared. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, and sea salt to create a marinade.

4. 4

   Brush the sardines with the marinade on both sides. Allow them to marinate for 10-15 minutes.

5. 5

   Once the grill is hot, place the sardines directly on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.

6. 6

   While the sardines are grilling, cut the lemon into wedges for serving and chop the fresh parsley.

7. 7

   Once the sardines are done, remove them from the grill and place them on a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

8. 8

   Enjoy your Sardinas a la Plancha with a side salad or crusty bread.
