Preparation
-
Prepare The Sardines:
Place the sardines in a bowl with very cold water. And allow them to soak for 20 minutes. This will help firm their skin so it won't break as you clean them.
Rub the skin to remove any scales.
Gut the sardines by making a small incision with a knife on the belly right after the head.Pull out the innards.
Rinse the sardines well.
Prepare The Lemon Dressing:
Add the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice to a small bowl and whisk until it thickens.e one.
Grill The Sardines:
Heat a grill pan, griddle, or bbq on high. Brush the grates with oil.
Pat dry the sardines. Then drizzle with the 3 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle the salt on top. Gently mix so the oil and salt spread all over.
The cooking surface must be very hot so that the fish won't stick. If cooking on a bbq you may need to adjust the heat to medium. Sardines tend to flame up due to their fat content.
Cook the sardines for 2 minutes on high or 5-6 minutes on medium before flipping them.
Flip the sardines carefully.
Cook for 3 more minutes on high or 6-7 minutes on medium.
Add sardines to a plate, and pour the emulsified dressing all over the fish. Sprinkle some dried oregano on top and serve with a few pieces of lemon on the side.
