Grilled sardines are a flavorful seafood dish rooted in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly popular in Portuguese and Spanish culinary traditions. Prepared by seasoning fresh sardines with a touch of olive oil, sea salt, and aromatic herbs, they are then grilled to perfection, boasting a crisp skin and tender, flaky meat. Sardines are incredibly nutrient-dense, packed with protein, heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and essential minerals like calcium and selenium. These nutrients contribute to improved brain function, stronger bones, and reduced inflammation. Grilled preparation retains their natural health benefits without adding excessive fats or calories found in fried versions. However, they may be high in sodium depending on the seasoning, so moderating added salt is advised. Their portability and bold flavor have made them both a beloved street food and a nutritious staple on health-conscious menus worldwide.
