Sardinas a la Brasa

Sardinas a la Brasa is a vibrant Spanish dish featuring succulent grilled sardines, infused with the smoky flavors of the barbecue. This gluten-free delight is perfect for summer evenings, served with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt.

Ingredients

• Fresh sardines - 4 medium (about 250g total)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Sea salt - 1 teaspoon
• Fresh lemon - 1 (for juice and wedges)
• Fresh parsley - 1 tablespoon (chopped)
• Garlic - 1 clove (minced)

Steps

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. Clean the sardines by removing the scales and innards, then rinse under cold water and pat dry.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, and sea salt.
4. Brush the sardines generously with the olive oil mixture on both sides.
5. Place the sardines directly on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the skin is crispy and the fish is cooked through.
6. While the sardines are grilling, cut the lemon into wedges.
7. Once cooked, remove the sardines from the grill and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
8. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the sardines.
