Ingredients
- 600 grams fresh cuttlefish (sepia), cleaned
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 piece lemon, cut into wedges
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly cleaning the cuttlefish if not already done. Remove the head, beak, and innards, and rinse well under cold water.
Step 2
Slice the cleaned cuttlefish into large, manageable pieces for grilling.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil with the minced garlic. Mix well for an aromatic marinade.
Step 4
Preheat a large grilling pan (or plancha) over medium-high heat. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on the pan.
Step 5
Pat the cuttlefish pieces dry with a paper towel to ensure they sear properly. Season them with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
Step 6
Brush the garlic-infused olive oil onto the hot pan, quickly followed by the cuttlefish pieces.
Step 7
Grill the cuttlefish for 3–4 minutes on each side. Look for a nice char and a tender texture. Do not overcook, as the seafood may become tough.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the cuttlefish from the heat and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 9
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a burst of color and freshness.
Step 10
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing of flavor. Squeeze lemon over the cuttlefish just before eating to enhance the taste.
