Quick Easy Fish Recipes – Mediterranean-Style Grilled Sardines

By Rebecca Garcia

Jam packed with protein, omega-3 fatty acids and relatively low in mercury, sardines are an ideal pick for pregnant women and growing kids. However, with its rather strong fishy flavor, sardines do not quite appeal universally.

The secret to less fishy sardines is to look out for fish with clear bright eyes, rigid flesh and smell briny, not fishy. And, sardines taste best when cooked simply – grill, barbecue, baked or fry with simple Mediterranean accompanists such as olive oil, garlic, capers, anchovies, rosemary or sage.

Mediterranean-Style Grilled Sardines Recipe

(serves 4)

Ingredients:

6 sardines, scaled and gutted

2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

¼ teaspoon salt

freshly ground black pepper

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves, chopped, or

1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

capers, lemon wedges, fresh rosemary sprigs, to garnish

How to cook Mediterranean sardines

Wash sardines and pat dry. Set aside.

Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary in a bowl. Brush the mixture onto the sardines.

Grill sardines quickly over a griddle plate or charcoals on the barbeque or under a domestic grill for about 3 to 4 minutes on either side. Sardines should be cooked through and the skin slightly charred.

To serve, top sardines with capers and garnish with lemon wedges and rosemary sprigs. Enjoy grilled sardines with lemon salsa Verde.
